Review Summary: Finally an entry level PMP that is stable, useable and watchable, what took them so long? We've been testing the Archos Gmini 500 which gives up trying to record video and just plays it back properly.

Review Summary: A classic track for a PMP with a problem staying upright, perhaps that's why all the publicity shots always show someone holding the Archos AV500? We put the DVR though it's paces and see if stacks up as a sensible purchase.
