Travel Technology - Anyone tried the Archos AV300 series "Cinema to Go"

One of my readers is asking about the Archos AV300 device. It lets you listen to MP3's, play video, view stored digital photos, all in a fairly small footprint device. I'm lloking for feedback from owners of these devices.

I have the AV340 and IMO the conversion process into DivX MP4 turned me off completely. The iPOD is a much better music player as well. If it handled MPEG2 and some other formats I'd like it more but as it is the battery life is too short and getting video into it a pain in the .... You can record directly to it but the resultant quality isn't really all that. Also, the support is somewhat lacking. I'm waiting for the Taz (http://www.tightaudiosystems.com). THAT will be a great device.
