IPods

The Archos was £110 more expensive than the Iriver, you have to draw a line somewhere.

The Ipod does not do data

Wrong, it does do data. I have a Ipod mini and you can use it as a portable hard drive.

nor sound formats other than mp3

....and it doesn't do betamax either I know lets buy into Microsofts format, or to get really boxed into a corner lets go for Sony ATRAC.[/QUOTE]

New 60gb ipod is now out...looks pretty good with a colour screen, will also hold jpegs, etc...

60gb . To be honest, I just dont see the point. I have 10Gb of MP3's on my PC which is something ridiculous in terms of hours of listening. I guess the next big thing is watching movies etc - ala Archos etc.

I'm with 'tuned in' on the Archos!

I've got the AV340 & its great; hundreds of albums on mine, plus lots of photos & a few films too. All in all, the perfect accompaniment to travel: esp. when you have just spent most of a day sitting in an airport departure lounge.....................

Works well on the bike too!
