Archos AV700 Mobile DVR
With its 7-inch-wide screen, TV-friendly recording capabilities, and kitchen-sink roster of media features, the Archos AV700 would seem to be the ideal traveling companion for movie buffs, couch potatoes, and music fans alike. while the AV700 does a fine job of recording video from external sources, such as a TV, it offers no clear-cut way to play back wide-screen movies or, for that matter, wide-screen TV. Thus, the sizable screen goes largely to waste. Further complicating matters, converting video files is a hassle, and the screen itself isn't that great, though its wide viewing angle should accommodate everyone in the backseat. Ultimately, the AV700 is best suited to tech-savvy users who have cash to burn and a firm belief that a bigger screen makes for a better personal media player. The Archos AV700 is big. Really big. Heavy too. At 8.2 by 4.2 by 0.8 inches and 1.3 pounds, it's not the kind of device you can slip unobtrusively into a pocket. Of course, the mammoth screen accounts for most of the bulk: Measuring 7 inches diagonally, it's significantly larger than most portable video player (PVP) screens, which usually top out at 3 to 4 inches. The LCD produces 480x234 pixels--a bit on the low side, given its size--and 262,000 colors. In fact, it can't hold a flame to the Creative Zen Vision's gorgeous 640X480-pixel VGA screen.
