Archos Widescreen PMP 142
An anonymous reader writes "Archos has just announced their newest portable audio/video player the AV 700 Mobile DVR. The new unit has a 480x234 pixel widecreen display, a hub to record from TV and DVD, and offers a 100GB drive. The sucker is heavy though weighing in at over a pound. Cost is $799 for the 100GB model and $599 for the 40GB. MP3 Newswire also has Part 1 of its MP3 players for summer. Most interesting are Creative's new Neeon and a high end unit from Bose."
Gmini 400 is still pretty sweet. (Score:2, Interesting)

* Straphanger: slang for a subway rider. NYC subways used to have leather straps that riders could "hang" from in order to not fall when the car started moving. They've all been replaced by metal bars.

Though it lacks a keyboard , the screen is smaller and it cant directly play DVDs
I can see the thing being highly hackable if it runs linux but i doubt it would ever have as many features as a laptop
