Has anyone got one of these? I had a play with the av320 and I loved it. Anyone got any views on them? Worth buying?

From a little while ago

Like I said there, I have the AV340 and it's really, really nice. I carry it around everywhere, along with the USB cable. I can quickly grab stuff off of a friend's computer, or bring over large files easily.

Like I said in that thread, you can store an insane amount of information on the drive if properly encoded (which is a bit of an exercise).

I definitely recommend the device. Sorry, Rio. I wanted a video player and something to store my photos on

What about battery life? I imagine its pretty heavy on them?

It's actually pretty respectable. I think the company states battery life of about 9 hours for music and 3 hours for video. Naturally, it's a little less than that, but it's good for the average plane flight, or for carrying around and using when you're waiting for something.

Of course, I also have one of these, which nearly triples those numbers.
