Archos AV700

This new PVP (Portable/Personal Video Player) from Archos looks hot! No word on whether it\’s a portable media center device or whether it runs linux… hopefully the latter.

The AV700 is Archos\’s first move into the large-format PVP space, with a 7-inch screen and a 60GB hard drive. Archos will be adding satellite and DVB tuners in a future model that will ship later in the year. Lastly, the Gmini XS 100 is a 20GB player with a color screen and the typical Archos \’do anything\’ philosophy, so it\’ll be able to handle video and audio in a variety of flavors just fine.
