Archos 704 wifi, a little world in your hands This was exactly the kind of device i was looking for. A multipurpose item of good quality with a big good resolution screen. Its slightly heavy but shows the quality of the build. It was slightly annoying to have to purchase extra plug-ins but that done i was happy. I put DivX movies on it and they played well.

Six months later i tried to turn it on and... more info

Don't forget... to do anything with this unit you will also need the docking station so that's extra to the price as well, AND you can purchase a... more info
Train / plane journeys just all became business class Cast your mind back to the early 90's, when the idea of having little TV's in the seats of airplanes was first becoming common. You could choose from multiple channels, you'd get relatively recent films, and it was a great distraction from long flights. Fast forward 15 years, and apart from some of the more expensive airlines or those in the middle-east / east-asia, we're stuck with the same aging technology. Take my last flight to the states; the in-flight entertainment didn't start till we'd been in the... more info
