Archos AV400 Pocket Video Recorder on its way

I've just been informed that Australia's first batch of Archos AV400 are on its way.  Since it's a European product it is undergoing some changes to suit Australian electrical requirements.

Can't wait to get my hands on one of these to do some tests!

The Archos AV400 Pocket Video Recorders are jam-packed with features!  Its capacity will be from 2oGB to 100GB - the first batch coming to Australia will be 20GB then 80GB! Quite a jump between sizes but given the applications of this device it's quite logical to go for more space.  The display is also impressive with a 3.5" screen.

A wide-variety of digital media are supported by the Archos AV400 including video, digital pictures and audio.  Audio formats include MP3, WMA and WAV files.  XviD, DivX 4.0 and 5.0 and MPEG4 SP at 704 x 480 pixels are video supported formats.  In terms of pictures, JPEG and BMP formats can be viewed.

There's a compact flash expansion slot built into the Archos AV400 which allows for transferring pictures directly onto the device. It's reported that a memory card adapter will be released in the near future to cater for other memory cards such as SD, MMC, Smart Media, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pros.

The above are just some of the great features packed into this little gadget.  For the full low-down on the Archos AV400 click here.
