Archos make some nice gear. That looks better than most of the options for portable photo storage No mention of screen resolution though. I might have to dig further.

But I suspect the P-2000 is still better. Why are you lusting this new toy? Where is it the P-2000 lets you down?

Where is it the P-2000 lets you down?

It has pretty poor video support and lacks the DVR function.

Yes, the P-2000 is lot better and I still keep it.
The AV700 is just another toy for my kids can copy movies and bring it up to the Bay.
