What Home Cinema Best Buy
July 2006
    "The Archos supplies smooth pictures effortlessly - and the fact that it includes a recorder enabling you to grab video straight off yout TV is a huge bonus", "The AV500 is also brilliantly stylish and solidly built, and its 30GB storage means it has tons of room for high-quality video files. Lastly, the inclusion of USB-on-the-go should appeal to anyone who takes a lot of digital photos, as it allows you to archive shots straight from your camera to its hard disc", "If we were looking for a mobile movie machine this is the model we'd buy".
 
4" Widescreen LCD, 30GB Hard Disk, with direct recording, multi-format playback and awesome power and features - the ideal on-the-go, pocket entertainment centre.
