The Bottom Line	Proof positive that bigger isn't always better, the Archos AV700 fails to make the most of its wide-screen LCD.	The well-appointed Archos AV500 puts wide-screen video in your pocket, but we're still waiting for a point-and-click way to get video into the device.	The Archos 5 boasts an improved screen size, image resolution, and sound quality over its predecessor, but its Web browser and Flash media playback are disappointing for a product marketed on the strength of its Internet media capabilities.	Proof positive that bigger isn't always better, the Archos AV700 fails to make the most of its wide-screen LCD.	Archos's now classic AV420 laid the foundation for modern PVPs and PVRs.
