I bought my first Archos product last September and I love my 604. Love it. Not too big at all, built solidly, nice clear crisp screen with a superb viewing angle. 30gb suits me fine and it plays all the files I've thrown at it. Its great to just record stuff off of my PVR card and transfer it across. I get about 5 hours video playback using earphones and lowest backlighting.

My only gripe is a lack of backlit buttons and the UI is a tad confusing but you get used to it pretty quickly.

The new ones look even better - higher res, slimmer and improved battery life. They may even have backlit buttons now.

Funny how it seems to get overlooked by many.
