Review summary	The Archos AV700's huge size is both its strength and and its weakness. It'll replace your portable DVD player, but it's not as convenient as the AV400 series. The option to use Windows Media Player to sync media makes it more accessible to novices, but upgraders from the smaller AV400 might be disappointed by the unit's flickery image and ugly front-end Read full review	It's taken a relative newcomer to show the old timers how to do things right. PQI hasn't been in the mainstream long, but its P600 blows away the competiton like a nuclear bomb. Feature-wise, there's nothing more to ask for here. A few tweaks to the user-interface and PQI could just push this product from merely impressive to spectacular Read full review	It's not perfect, but the AV420 is by far the best portable video player we've seen Read full review	Measurable bulk and pricey 160GB version aside, the do-it-all Archos 504 is an awesome AV performer Read full review
