The real Archos AV500 stands up
Probably not the most brilliant move on the part of Archos to "recycle" one of its own product names, but some details and pic of their new AV500 portable video player have popped up online (you may recall that what used to be called the AV500 is now known as the PMA430). Anyway, what you're looking at is a player with a four-inch, 262,000 color, 16:9 widescreen LCD, 30GB hard drive, the ability to record directly from your TV, VCR, DVD player, cable box, or satellite receiver, and support for playback of MP3, WMA, Protected PlaysForSure WMA, and WAV audio files and WMV, Protected PlaysForSure WMV, MPEG4, and DivX video files. There's also supposed to be a deluxe version of this thing with a 100GB hard drive that triples the battery life for video playback to 15 hours.
