Very formidable

I saw this yesterday and spec wise it looks real good. No docks needed for tv out. HD compatibility! Storage what we are already accustomed to from Archos (160gb). Mobile TV and Dual Core. This sounds reallllly good.

The visual aspects of the product leave to be desired however. Also, no mention of a touch screen.

In this day to load up the components than cripple it with a lower res screen (480 x 272) makes little sense. Higher res screens are now commonplace and should be on any PMP with a screen greater than 4". Jack up the batteries mAh if your concerned about saving power for battery life don't try to extend playtime by diminishing the screen quality.

As i posted in the title....... "And here we go"......

Something I said you disagree with? Do you think loading up a PMP and then sticking a 480 x 272 screen on it is a good thing?

i darent comment but I will cause Archos aint perfect, It does look like a kids toy though :?

On screens this size, you have to be a video-phile to notice the difference in resolution.

Archos has been using dual-core chips since 2002.

156mm wide is quite funny, that's like more than 3cm wider then the Archos 605 WiFi.

Anyways, it's the right thing by Aigo to start using Texas Instruments in their PMPs, but most probably the 720p playback isn't any better then other current generation DaVinci based devices, thus not working for 720p WMV, 720p H264 but only partly working for 720p Mpeg4 simple profile.



Looking at that, it seems this product has a module port and that WiFi is not a built-in feature. No mention of touch-screen eigther so I don't know what they are going to use the WiFi for.

like both of these. the prices are nice and its all about being able to record from tv straight out of the box
