I dont understand archos if I could ssh into one I’d buy on in a flash a m8 has and old 700 and the battery life and quality are top notch – the software is a bit limiting tho…

I seriously wish someone would hack the AV500, I’ve had mine for years and it’s a really nice player/recorder for the main fact you don’t have to by a freaking expensive dock just to hook up cameras etc. (which also adds to the bulkiness & accessories needed).
The harddrive has developed a few errors after lending to a friend (I should have known better, he has a habit of breaking anything to do with electricity/electronics) and I would dearly love to swap out the 60gb for a 100gb one. If you plug a different 2.5″ drive in the unit refuses to use it.
I emailed Archos about getting a replacement drive because of their damned drive lock but no reply – bastards!

I have an archos 605, and I don’t see the point of a larger harddrive unless we can get the number of allowed files thing fixed. I have a few thousand mp3’s and it has been difficult to get them all recognized by the archos, and it crashes often. My understanding is that if you have over 1000 files things get pretty dicey with the stock software. Anyone have any idea if there will be any updates to allow the 160gb hard drive that comes stock to be used to capacity???
