Detailed Review of the Archos AV420 PVR

Posted by michael on from the things-ebert-carries dept.

ilovealpacas writes "The Globe and Mail has posted a step by step look at the Archos AV420. For about $1000 Canadian (I think that's $800 US), you get an 80GB portable video player and recorder that also plays MP3's and has a CF slot for pictures. Hmmm.....laptop?"

    Slightly more space? Did you even LOOK to see how big the Archos is? You can shove it in your pants pocket.

    That's like saying, "Who would want to buy an iPod when you could get an old pentium 133 laptop for the same price and use it to do more than play MP3s!"
