When opening the packaging already same time a great disillusionment, where the accessory is gone?
The device itself makes a high quality impression as you would expect from Archos yes.
Unfortunately, the appliance as delivered is just a glorified MP3 player with large display since you can not use it as a video player and recorder without the unfortunately only purchasable plugins him. In my opinion, something is really an impertinence. For all other features you need optional accessory else is really nothing. Neither Recording movies still playing on the television.
This can charge the device with the (you amazed) supplied USB cable to the computer is not bad, but I have a laptop with you on vacation rarely what a turn forces an optional charger to buy. ŽDiese type of customer treatment I will not go through me what made me zuurückzugeben the device again.
Now I have gained me an AV500, here at least a rich accessory package is.
Also I was able to compare both displays directly.
The image of the 504er is much paler, but you can see it well from all angles. A good image is very strong tilt sensitive the AV500, but convince held at the correct angle, the colors more.
Conclusion: With a reasonable Accessories Pack the 504er would be a nice device, but in the present extradition form almost a Kundenverarschung.
