Archos AV 400 PVP Reviews

A number of appearances of the new Archos AV400 portable video player have recently come out, so we'd like to make mention of them. The AV400 is a 20GB A/V player with a 3.5" or 3.8" color LCD that can playback MP3 music and MPEG4, AVI, DivX and XviD video. Weighing in at 9.9, the AV400 measures 4.9"x3.1"x0.8". The Tom's Hardware gang is up first:

Convergence has been on the lips of OEMs for years, but Archos' AV 400 lends credence to the concept. Here is a nine-ounce handheld device that offers more-than-just respectable digital recording and playback, TV capabilities, music-file playback and more.

CNet liked it too:

We've been waiting for the Archos AV420 with bated breath, and after playing around with it, we can safely say that portable TiVo has officially arrived.

Don't miss the video brief either.

Finally a French Archos forum site has a bunch more AV400 photos.
