  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'....
• 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
• Review Verdict:
  An impressive PMP that's at its best when dealing with video ...

  Camcorder, still camera and portable media player all in one sleek package....
• Review 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 ...

  There's no denying the 404's pedigree, but a few niggles prevent it from reaching the heights of its predecessors ...

• by Jasmine France
• Jul. 3, 2007
• Comments:
  Archos's 04 series of portable video players has many components, the smallest being the pocket-size 404. This is a full-fledged PVP with all the fixings and a 30GB drive, only this one measures only 4 inches by 3 inches by 0.5 inches-- that's a stone's t...
• Pros: The sleek and compact Archos 404 camcorder's wonderful design is complemented by a plethora of features, including its built-in digital camera and camcorder, as well as support for subscription music (PlaysForSure). It has top-notch photo, video, and audi
• Cons: The Archos 404 camcorder doesn't have an FM radio, the utilitarian interface can be confusing at times, and you'll need to pay extra for an accessory that activates the player's recording capabilities.
• Review Verdict:
  The uberversatile Archos 404 camcorder is a good option for anyone looking to buy a compact portable video player with a nice screen. It's an OK convergence device, but it makes a far better video player than camcorder. ...
