Archos' Upgraded AV500 Jukebox Detailed

Posted by simoniker on from the geek-toy-heaven dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a piece on Mobilemag.com, the Archos AV500, newly shown at Cebit 2004 in Germany, will be the all-in-one answer to the clutter of handheld devices - this is a PVP [personal video player] and PDA combo handheld around the size of a Jornada with 20 or 40 gigs storage. Watch movies, read emails, connect your digital camera for backup, the list goes on.." The piece also notes: "Archos also added EPG (Electronic Programming Guide) technology, to allow you to control the AV500 with a remote control as a video player/recorder."

    hope its of better quality than that of the archos jukebox V.2 . Archos didn't even make a decent firmware for that player

    Seriously, if you absolutely *need* to carry your DVD player, mp3 player and PDA with you *all* the time...then you're life is pretty gosh darn boring then.

    Don't waste your time hanging around me, I'll wear you out by my use of non-passive activities.

    I have the AV300 with an 80Gb drive and the unit is flawless!! There sure are alot of folks who take the time to get on this forum and Bitch!
    Shut the Fuck up!
    No one else has come close to what Archos has done!
    There sure are alot of "backseat" drivers for what the newer units should have... If your all so smart, Where is your entry into the PVP market?
    If this unit rocks as much as the AV300 series does, I will get one for sure.
    I am gratefull for companies like Archos.
