Archos' Upgraded AV500 Jukebox Detailed

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."

I've never understood the interest in purchasing a stand alone DVD or video player. Instead of purchasing an all in one pda, divx, and mp3 player, wouldn't something like a Fujistu P-series make more sense?
