This gadget was at the top. No other PMP could compare with it. It has a brilliant screen quality, and can play many hours of AVI files stored on its hard drive. It has a loud speaker, and the biggest selling point is the ability to record TV. It comes with its own docking station, and is easy to use. It has a remote so that you can do everything with out having to move much (apart from moving to see the screen better!).
The battery life is brilliant. I used it for a coach journey from London to Eastbourne and back, and it still had a lot of battery left. Although this PMP is quite fussy about which file types to play. Although this is sorted out because it comes with software to convert videos into the correct file type.
Another advantage is that it has a Compact Flash Port. This is handy if you need to get files from your computer but do not have the cable handy. It also provides extra storage which is always handy.
Overall, this PMP is excellent, and I think that the only better PMP is the Archos AV500, which I am now looking to buy.
