Title: Archos 404
Pros: Screen looks very bright and clear. Good video format support. Video playback is smooth. Video recording quality (with optional dock) is excellent. Can load content via drag-and-drop or WMP.
Cons: Battery is not removable. Battery life is shorter than expected. Hold button doesn't lock the volume buttons. Video recording requires optional dock.

Title: Archos 404
Pros: Good pictures, Impressive features, Build quality
Cons: 4:3 screen, Requires paid-for plug-ins
Verdict: There's no denying the 404's pedigree, but a few niggles prevent it from reaching the heights of its predecessors
Summary: Archos is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the PMP world and hopes to continue its fine form with this 30GB unit that counts a camcorder and 1.3 megapixel digital camera among its features.

Title: Archos 404
Pros: Will play WMV and DivX video, as well as WAV and MP3 audio, 3.5in. 320 x 240 LCD display capable of crisp colours, Great-quality audio (if decent headphones used), MPEG-4 recording from external, Very well built and low (just 190g) weight
Cons: H.264 and MPEG 1/2 video support require £13 'plug-ins', AV input/output cables are (expensive) options, Screen ratio is 4:3, and not 16:9., Camcorder footage can be 'smeary', LCD viewing angle is somewhat narrow
Verdict: An impressive PMP that's at its best when dealing with video
Summary: Although recent iPods will play video, their screens are tiny and the format support is extremely restricted. The 30GB Archos 404 isn't quite as small, but it's around the same price and plays a heck of a lot more. Oh, and it's got a built-in 'camcorder'.

Title: Archos 404 Camcorder
Verdict: But the 404 Camcorder is unique - the hard disk, large screen and camera take it far beyond the media capabilities of the most advanced phones and portable media players. Not everyone will find a use for it - if your needs are met by just one of the 404's
Summary: Camcorder, still camera and portable media player all in one sleek package.

Verdict: This is an excellent and highly versatile personal media player that is only really let down by its 4:3 screen
Summary: If you're thinking of buying a personal media player (PMP), there are a multitude of the things out there, but Archos is a manufacturer you should give serious consideration, as its 404 PMP testifies

Title: Archos 404 Review
Summary: The Archos 404 is the little brother to our #2 product, the Archos 605 Wi-Fi. The 404 is a fierce little player that packs a lot of punch at a decent price. With regards to storage and size, this portable device is one of the smallest players we reviewed;
