Archos reveals the AV500 at CeBIT 2004

From an article on Mobilemag here's something that looks interesting, to say the least....a PDA/PVP combo....it definetly means the large hard drives will make into the PPCs very soon... What do you think?
Archos has done a nice job on the successor of its AV300 series. With a slimmer sleeker more ergonomic look, the AV500 makes the AV320 look like a clunky has-been. The new PVP and PDA combo device with docking station will be released before the end of 2004, and is around the same size as a Jornada Pocket PC. No exact dimensions were released, although Archos assures us that it’s amazingly small.
The 20 and 40GB devices use a 704x480 30fps maximum resolution screen, you can do just about anything you could imagine on this thing; yes it plays DivX and MPEG4. Archos hasn’t forgot about the big boss either, they have added Microsoft DRM support for WMA and WMV9 video format, and synchronization with Microsoft Windows Media Player.
This will be the first PVP/PDA device on the market (unless someone beats them to it) supporting standard PIM applications (Email, Calendar, Notepad, Calculator etc.) plus an internet browser. The unknown expansion slot will support Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM and other add-on cards.
