I have seen it advetised in the argos or index catalogue at £249 uk pounds which represent excellent value for money, obviously argos have not got any stock yet.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/
The Good: Seems to do everything promised in the article at ok quality. Plus, it can be mounted on a tripod, the camera module rotates, the battery is removable and the price is AUD $900.

The Bad: The device is very thick (I found the weight to be quite acceptable, even with the camera module attached, but you're not going to be able to stick this gadget in a pocket and forget about it). Unlike the Archos, (I think) you have to actually be present to record from TV (i.e. it's not programmable)

i.e. I found it tempting (esp. at the price), but I'll probably wait until the Archos 500 comes out before I decide.

Yes Peter Alden you are right.I have had the same problem with the DVR390H for 3 weeks too and i will be returning it for a full refund.

How can a gadget that is 'so easy to use' come without any operating instructions?]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/I GET ONE AND HOW MUCH ARE THEY]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/http://www.engadget.com/2004/09/10/vivitars-dvr390h-the-20gb-6-in-1-multimedia-handeld/I GET ONE AND HOW MUCH ARE THEY I BOUGHT THIS
