Archos AV700 TV the Portable PVR

Archos

The AV700 TV is Archos’ update on the standard AV700 adding DVB-T reception to the mix. The unit actually has two tuners to allow for better reception inside buildings and on the move. The player features a large 7” screen and will play most of the popular media file types out there along with downloadable games if you feel inclined.

Current AV700 owners will be unhappy to know that this is a completely new update and there will not be an add-on tuner for older models. The AV700 TV will go on sale in May for 700 Euros.

Sorry American, this will be a European only item since we don’t get DVB-T reception in the states. In case you wanted to know, DVB-T stands for Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial. It is basically MPEG2 sent over the air.

I have almost 10,000 songs and I can't find easily some special song. I would be hapy if the software in my Toshiba gigabeat would indlude features of saerching at leavel title song.

By the way, Gigabeat room is too simple and slow, with all my respect, Gigabeat room has no comparition with other similar applications like Itunes. Please improve Gigabeat room as posible, I think that Toshiba is a respectable and big enterprise.

I am sory, but my eanglish is not very good.

Samsung P2

The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.
Toshiba Gigabeat T400

The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.
SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
JAYS q-JAYS

The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
