Its very cool, A compact design that maximises screen size whilst retaining a high resolution, low glare and sharp display. So throw away your Ipods because anything they can do, this can do better.
For example I have yet to see an Ipod with a built in video camera but if I ever do, I can assure you it will not reach the high resolution that this piece of kit offers. Check the specs tab to quote but this is all you will ever need for home movies and is espicially good for outdoor videos for internet posting. The quality is slightly lower than might be expected for the stills camera but is completly compensated by the vast other features.
The photo viewer is a colourfull addition and the ability to hook up to a tv with the TV docking station(sold seperatly for around £40 but very worth it) allows the use of slideshows to view all your snapped shots and play music from your collection in the background.
The fun with the docking station doesnt stop there. You can plug in your archos to your vhs, dvd player or even your sky box and record any program or film straight onto the 30GB hard drive whilst it charges. Its then easily available to watch on the go for up to 4 hours of video and 12 hours of music as the battery allows.
Music quality is excellent with the included earphones however the speaker quality is just better of that of a mobile phone. The device synrochronises with your PC with ease extracting all of your music, video and pictures using windows media player.
There are many other features that I personally neglect for lack of personal use however could prove valuable to you. A PDF viewer, voice recorder and TV scheduler to name but a few. Overall in my personal opinion, the 404 camcorder is the best in the archos range due to its size capacity, screen clarity and built in camcorder and is overall the best value item I have ever obtained in my life.

Advantages: Looks Cool / stores loads of data / not to big / long battery life Disadvantages: screen can scratch quite easy so recomend you get a protector
