Cons
Archos media player 604 is portable however; it will not fit in your pocket. This unit is better suited to a handbag or brief case.
The unit does not come with video cables for television playback. Of course the unit was created for video to go not to stay but you can purchase an add on that makes the Archos media player a fully functional DVR.
Not a great exercise companion, it is too big and bulky and the 30 GB hard drive would not hold up well to heavy movement.
