Avast 604 or Creative Zen Vision W?

Post by Ubiquitous »

I will purchase one of these items tomorrow. I was primarially looking for an mp3 player, but the more I have read into it, the more video on the move appeals to me. Both items can be purchased in 30GB versions for £205 so there is no price difference - the reviews slightly favour the 604. What do you people think?

Who makes Avast again? Never heard of it before, but I own a Zen Vision: M and I'm pretty happy with the company.

Archos 604, not what I put in the title. *smacks head* got it confused with my anti-virus. Long day.

Would a mod please fix the title?

I bought a 30 gig zen xtra about two years ago and its still going strong. I also bought a 256mb creative flash player around 2months ago and I'm pretty impressed with that as well. Both give excellent sound quality and the UI is satisfactory. From my experience I'd go with the Creative.

Well I bought the Archos. :D

Seems nifty. Superb picture quality - I loaded up one of my 350mb BSG episodes and it looks fantastic. I don't think the sound quality is particularly good though, and also it is a little large, but still fits in my jean pocket.

Now I need to insure it. Does anyone know of any cheap insurance I could get for this?
