Lmao? HD photo format? Anyone who thinks high definition photos is something special in photography and new - they are a noob and need to learn more about it.

Ipods are poor quality and very easy to scratch the screen which is extremely important. Ipods break easily. I've tried out the ipod and other media devices and ive found one device that is worse than the ipod - creative media players... Archos has the best media players iver ever seen. They are very high quality, they don't break easily. The screen doesn't scatch easily. Accidendally dropped one on very hard surfaces including concrete and only very litle damage done to it. I'm not one of those people who just says one thing is the best and haven't tried the other. I've tried many mediaplayers/mp3players and archos is the best ive found. Creative media players are so far the worst ive ever tried.

Open my computer, open archos, find music folder, open itunes, folder on pc, or other storage place, and drag the files to the folder. OR Open windows mediaplayer and sync it to the archos.

The archos is definitly worth buying. It beats the ipod any day. There is currently a 160gb model of Archos and ipod only goes up to 80gb. Archos is very well built and quite strong (droped 7inch screen on concrete and other hard serfaces before with little damage (few scratches) to the exterior but everything still working perfectly and at top speed, no data lost or damage - i dont suggest trying it though) The screen is bright and very strong - things have been accidentally dropped at it, left a scratch on the screen but not visable when it is on (small scratch not very noticable unless you look for it) - would have damaged an ipod screen significantly and may damage ipod internal hardware - not exagerating. I do not suggest trying to damage an archos and still dont be careless with one but they are well built and a very satisfying experience owning one.

Archos has the best portable media players ive ever seen with the best qualty. They have so many useful features. I hope the next generation Archos comes with the new 250GB or 300GB hardrives.

The models im familiar with (av500 and av700 - not the newest models) comes with a cable that you can connect a few usb devices to including memory card readers, some hardrives - NOT SHURE USB FLASH COMPATIBILITY - i think the hardrives and flash drives need to be formatted a certain way for it to be read. I think the newer ones and the upcomming models have this ability to connect some usb devices to it. 160gb model is a suggestion if you are going to backup photos and other media. there is another option but no screen but very good battery life for photo backup - hyperdrive.com -- but it isnt a media player if a media player is what you need. It is a very useful device (backup device at hyperdrive.com)with up very fast memory card transfer speed, reads many formats, very long battery life, and the hardrive is expandable as technology gets better - Example probable if there are 1tb laptop hardrives, it might support it...

High definition takes a lot of memory which means more space consumed on web servers and unreasonably long upload times.
