Recently looked up Archos when it was mentioned on the sky+ forum, now i want one!
I'm confused as to which one to get for a few reasons...
I'm looking at the 604 30Gb(not WiFi) or the newer 605WiFi 30gb/40gb
- They both seem to be reasonably similar in price which doesn't help!
I would mainly want it to transfer stuff from my Sky+ to watch on the way to work, also some DVDs. Maybe the odd DivX file from my PC.
I'm not that bothered about the web browser, i would love this feature if it didn't cost me any extra but i get the feeling it does, plugins or something, and i need to keep costs down!
I would just like to know if any of the features that have been added or taken away from each model affect the things i want it for?
Would i be able to put DVDs on it straight out of the box?
I also read (sky+ forum) that there's a travel adapter for around £7(cables, not dock) that will allow me to record from my sky+ without having to spend £70 on the docking station... is this true?
I would like to spend as little on extras as possible (at first at least!)
Also - not as important but, the metal casing looks nicer on the 604, the 605 seems to look a bit cheaper, anyone seen both?
Is the price of the 604 likely to go down further coming upto christmas, 'cos i have to say, this would definitley sway me - i really shouldn't buy either!!!
Thanks for reading my badly composed post!
Any advice appreciated!
