Archos AV700 40GB 7" Portable Media Player

I have been looking at this sort of thing. And now Woot has this one for a decent $290...

I know Hellfire likes these things, anyone have experience with the AV700? Thanks!

If I was certain it had video shuffle on it, I'd have one. Just can't get a positive answer on it. I've heard it's really good though.

I've been told the new versions (404/504/604) has video shuffle so I might be picking one of those up very soon.

You have an Archos or two already, right? They're good?

I think I may keep looking, and focus on the smaller ones... This seems hard to be portable, although a 7" screen is nice.

The 504 has the tv tuner for recording, right?

I had the 320 and 420. The 320 was great, had everything I wanted until the battery died on me, and just bought a new one LOL

The 420 I returned because it did not have a video shuffle option on it Sad

All of the new '04 series can act as a DVR, you just have to buy the optional kit to do it.

Each of the '04 series are identical (at least as far as I can tell), just minor changes.

404 non-widescreen
504 largest capacity 80gb/160gb, removable battery
604 widescreen 404, and a wifi version of 604, removable battery

No... Now today I see the Geeks have the AV500 for $299, but it includes the TV dock and remote...
