PC Magazine reviews the Archos AV 500 Portable Media Player here. This is definitely a high end portable media player with its brushed aluminum casing, 4 inch LCD screen, and 100GB storage capacities (although you can also get a 30GB model). Some features include:

  • Package includes – AV 500, USB 2.0 cable, USB host adapter, AC adapter & charger, stereo headphones, protective case, user guide and TV Cradle, remote control (with batteries), audio & video cables
  • Built-in Speaker
  • USB 2.0 high-speed device interface, compatible USB 1.1, PC & Mac
  • Removable Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
  • Battery life – Up to 15 hours for music, Up to 4.5 hours for video on built-in LCD

PC Magazine’s verdict?

Start saving your pennies: This portable media player/recorder is worth its high price.

$600 + dollars seems a bit expensive to pay for a 100GB model – anyone interested in getting this for Christmas??
