Product Rating: 4.00 star(s) Archos 404

Comments:
The attractively priced Archos 404 is a PVP in an MP3 player's body. If you want a better screen and a removable battery, spend $50 more for the wider 604....

QuickTake:

Pros: The aggressively priced Archos 404 combines a 3.5-inch screen with a supercompact body; it's a video, music (including subscriptions), and photo player with the ability to record line-in audio and video with optional adapters; good voice recorder; improve
Cons: The Archos 404 lacks the kickstand and removable battery of its bigger brother, the 604; proprietary USB cable; no recording line-in video or audio out of the box; few bundled accessories; no FM tuner; weak equalizer.

Product Rating: 3.35 star(s) Archos 404 Camcorder

Comments:
Camcorder, still camera and portable media player all in one sleek package....
Review Verdict:
But the 404 Camcorder is unique - the hard disk, large screen and camera take it far beyond the media capabilities of the most advanced phones and portable media players. Not everyone will find a use for it - if your needs are met by just one of the 404's ...

Product Rating: 4.00 star(s) Archos 404

Comments:
Although recent iPods will play video, their screens are tiny and the format support is extremely restricted. The 30GB Archos 404 isn't quite as small, but it's around the same price and plays a heck of a lot more. Oh, and it's got a built-in 'camcorder'....
Review Verdict:
An impressive PMP that's at its best when dealing with video ...

QuickTake:

Pros: Will play WMV and DivX video, as well as WAV and MP3 audio, 3.5in. 320 x 240 LCD display capable of crisp colours, Great-quality audio (if decent headphones used), MPEG-4 recording from external, Very well built and low (just 190g) weight
Cons: H.264 and MPEG 1/2 video support require £13 'plug-ins', AV input/output cables are (expensive) options, Screen ratio is 4:3, and not 16:9., Camcorder footage can be 'smeary', LCD viewing angle is somewhat narrow
