  Archos AV700 Mobile DVR (40GB) Review - Portable Video Players
  By Rick Broida, CNET.com
  
  Review summary: The Archos AV700's huge screen should be the device's main selling point, but it fails to live up to its potential.
  
  Pros: Huge screen, Wide viewing angle, Records audio and video from external sources, Can record TV at scheduled times, Excellent battery life, especially for audio only, Includes kickstand, iTunes plug-in for Mac users, Nice printed manual
  
  Cons: Expensive, Screen looks grainy and washed out, Wide-screen content hard to come by, No software CD included, Video-conversion tools not optimised for the AV700
  
  Verdict: Proof positive that bigger isn't always better, the Archos AV700 fails to make the most of its wide-screen LCD.

  Archos AV700
  By Guy Cocker
  
  Review summary: Great to pull out on the plane, the Archos AV700 is too big to use every day
  
  Pros: Size of the screen and slimness of the main unit; plays DivX files flawlessly; good battery life; plenty of features
  
  Cons: Too big for most uses; low-resolution screen is flickery; buttons aren't labelled
