Summary: A 66 quid dc adapter - No HDMI
Comment: I can't believe there is no HDMI port on this, according to the archos site this model has one yet...

Easy to use once set up, but component quality on a hd tv is sucky enough to not want to use this to record, stream or play video.

Summary: Almost a "must have"...
Comment: Almost a "must have" accessory. The simplest way to import DVD, VHS or just about any other video onto the ARCHOS. Not so large that it can't be taken away on trips and the RGB/Component/S-Video and composite outputs mean it should work on just about any hotel TV - don't forget to take an S-Video and SCART cable with you.

The unit allows the player to stand up at a comfortable viewing angle and the remote control is compact but functional.

I use it with a 605 player. There is enough room between the player and the back of this unit to accommodate a 2.5" external drive which this unit will power from its USB socket when on external power, giving another 60GB of memory.

If however you want to travel with the smallest "no frills" playback only / external hard drive interface then have a look at the Mini Dock. I did not like it as there is no remote and the player (605) will not stand up.
