The Bottom Line Although the PMC-120 is a much better device than its Linux-based brother, the PMP-120, it's not the best Portable Media Center device available. With its maddening interface, its missing features, and a lack of video content sources, the PMP-120 needs to go back to the drawing board. If you want the most stylish PMC, look no further than the YH-999; if you need a battery that goes the distance, try elsewhere. Eight months after its announcement, the Creative Zen PMC is finally here. Despite its bulk, the player is solid, but it's the Microsoft Portable Media Center software that deserves most of the praise. 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.
