Light years ahead then Ipod!

The best PVP that you will ever get your hands on.
Archos is always bringing new innovation to the market.
The only thing I don't get it why Archos is not as known as Apple.

Best Product on the market, Beats Ipod easily!!!!
Reviewer: steelman from Pittsburgh on Jul 6, 2008

Have had the product for a month now, minimal problems and when I did their technical support responded very quickly both by phone and via email. Have purchased the DVR Station and 3 Plug-ins so far and everything working fine. I do wish the TV recordingcould be more like a regular DVR. Right now the TV must be ON and tuned to the station you wish to record. Great for watching movies, Web TV or? plus all your tunes w/o the expense of purchasing. This product is so much more complete than anything else out there, I don't see why there isn't a wait list to get one!!!!! Also, plug-ins are only $20 (one time fee) for a function like internet browsing, more value added!!!!
