It’s the most affordable yet in the firm’s range, but that doesn’t mean the manufacturer has scrimped on features.

The 604 can play videos, record TV programmes, store digital photos or play music at the click of a button. A 30GB memory capacity should keep any film buff happy, as this means you can store up to 85 movies with instant access. It has a 4.3-inch colour screen, boasting extras such as slow motion, video editing and a bookmarking function to enhance your viewing experience.

Up to 300,000 pictures can be saved and you can run them as slideshows accompanied by music or transition effects. The entertainment device can also be used to play and store tracks from your MP3 player, and you can customise your view by artist, album, type of music, title and year. The package includes a set of headphones, so that the driver won’t be disturbed, that all-important USB cable, a DVD adaptor and a pouch so you can keep the device out of harm’s way when not in use.

The Archos 604 is out now and sells for £270. Log on to www.archos.com or call 01877 300 8879 for more information.
