I have recently purchased an Archos 504 for my partner who is traveling for teh next 6 months. The first possitive thing about the Archos 504 was the weight, it is very light, small and comes with a protective case to put it in.
It is very easy to put pictures, music and video onto the storage device directly from your PC, it is basically a drag and drop process. But it doesnt come with its own software to convert DVD's and other film types to an avi file. Although it is an MP4 player, the video file itself has to be a .avi file to enable it to work on the MP4 Player. I have downloaded a programme from MP4 Converter.net which coast around £20.
You will also need to download software to make certain video types work on the product.
It doesnt come with a charger and this will also need to be purchased seperatly.
It it a very good product to buy even if you are looking for prehaps an ipod. As the additional cost is minimal compared to the amount of extras you get, and it will do everything an ipod does.

(+) Great screen quality and size, built in speaker and stand. (-) The only downside is that it is fragile, and can be hard to get used to the on screen keyboard.
