We have mobile phones, MP3 players, CD players and all types of mobile devices but what would you say about a mobile video player? Well they're finally here in the shape of the Archos Video AV320 player. This little beauty comes with this: 3.8-inch color display, 20GB hard drive, USB 2.0, MPEG-4 encoding module, remote control.
What is the AV320? Imagine an Apple iPod on steroids, one big enough (4.4 by 3.2 by 1.2 inches, HWD) to hold a color LCD, so you can watch video as well as play audio. The silver case contains a 20GB USB 2.0 hard drive (you can get the 40GB AV340 for $30 more), and the device, which uses a Linux operating system, can record, store, and play back MPEG-4 video, MP3 music, spoken audio, and JPEG photos. At 12 ounces and 17 cubic inches, the AV320 is just under twice as heavy as a 30GB iPod and a little more than twice as bulky. The multimedia player is both dazzling for what it does well and maddening for what it does clumsily.
