"Worth the Weight (changed from Zen 30gb M to 604 Archos)"
Pros: Easier buttons, larger screen, PDF's..2 more hrs to watch
Cons: no accessories @ any store, no power in the box
Summary: I travel alot and I was worried about the extra weight of the Archos (almost double @ 9oz) but the widescreen is awesome, the buttons easiers to navigate than the thumb on the Zen and the product is not as easy to scratch. After awhile you get used to the weight. Right out of the box i was disappointed to find no power cord (and there are no accessories yet @ any stores in Tampa/Sarasota area) I picked up using the item pretty easily although I can't play MPEG videos (unit says to purchase software upgrade on website) but I can't find it anywhere. The user manual isn't the easiest but I was lucky to find the website archosfans to help me. The headphones are not comfortable & the case is just a drop in bag. On the plus side I like being able to download PDF files (work or book related) and I'm excited that I have 2 more hrs (total of 6 now) for video playback. I also like the idea of the external speaker (although poor quality) at least now I have the option to play something for others to hear.
Overall, I'm very pleased w/the unit. I just want the opportunity to buy all the xtra accessories and get more support on the website and I'll be good to go.

I am an iPod owner, and all of my music is on itunes. Can I put the music that I have onto an archos? Why or why not?

I have yet to use the Archos 604 (should be shipping from Dell in a couple of days. The reason I am posting an opinion is to let everyone know that DELL IS THE BEST PLACE TO BY AN ARCHOS PRODUCT because the prices are amazing... more so with the fact that depending on the amount spent, they cut 10% to 15% off the price and shipping is FREE.
Where to buy
Archos 604 (30GB):
$353.99
