I know I don't need one.... but

ARCHOS Pocket Video Recorder AV420

I have always felt I needed to be able to record upto 80 hours of TV with a handheld device, and how did I think I could live without the ability to watch upto 40 full length movies on the go.

This small object of desire calls out to me, even though I can see that the controls are designed for a right-handed person and the battery would only allow me to watch a maximum of two movies before it ran out.

The worst thing about these gadgets is that they don't take up much room and you amass a few dozen without it being a visible problem. I had to get a Palm PDA and a PocketPC so that I could compare the usability of the devices, it's all part of my job you see. I haven't got a problem. Honest.

Maybe I should recommend that Jason buys one so that I can borrow it?

Features & Specifications

Hmmmm, perhaps I should restrain myself and look at the previous model as the price has just dropped to $495.95
40GB AV340
Now that would be a saving of over $200.
