    Okay. I've been thinking of buying a type of portable media player and I've narrowed it down to either the 60Gb iPod Video or the Archos AV560 (which is also 60Gb).

    The iPod costs £299 in the UK at the moment but I know someone heading out to New York soon who could get one there for £229.20 (Which would be the price of the 30Gb one in the UK).
    More info...

    The Archos costs more than that but has a larger screen (4"), it costs £350.
    More info...

    Basically, it all boils down to one question... Which would you get? xD

    Never heard of Archos, so I don't know how reliable they are.

    The monitor on the iPod video is amazing quality, I must say. But then there's compatibility problems, I believe, with having to convert video and whatnot.

    But that feature on the Archos where you can record directly from your TV is a huge reason to get it. Only 50 pouinds extra? I'd suggest Archos.
