Hi All,

I have an Archos 704 Wifi 80G for sale.

* Like new condition. The screen protective film is still on the screen.
* With all the original box, package and accessories.
* Purchased receipt (dated Aug 7, 2007 from Bestbuy): $399.99+tax.
* With Cinema plug-in (Play DVD MPEG-2 format.Multi-language supported.)
* I will include the software (open source) that I use to convert Canon digital camera AVI format to more compact (MPEG4) AVI format. You may have your own software already.

I ask $220 for it.

Here are some links for more information:

http://reviews.cnet.com/portable-video-players-pvps/archos-704-wifi/4505-6499_7-32363051.html

I started to use PMP (Portable Media Player) about half year ago. I put all the video clips and pictures on the unit and my boy loves it.

Iriver 20 GB PMP-120 (http://www.amazon.com/iriver-PMP-120-Portable-Media-Player/dp/B0002G81J4) was the first one I used. It was great, but it was just too small (hard drive size and screen size 3.5”).

I bought this Archos 704 (80 G HD & 7" screen) about couple weeks ago as the upgrade to the PMP-120. However, I just got a 705 (with 160 G HD) this week, so I decide to let the 704 go.

There are also some used units selling on craigslist and new ones from Bestbuy or Futureshop. I highly recommend them.

Here are some practical uses:
* Use as a flash cards system Receptive and Expressive trainings.
* Use the video clips for video modeling purpose.
* Use the pictures for Journal writing training.
* Use as a portable DVD player (you have to put the video files in) for the kids (in restaurants, hospitals, any places may require to re-direct kids’ attention).
* Use as a picture frame (with 800*480 high resolution screen) to share the joy moments.
* Use as a video player to share the video clips (such as ABA sessions) to others (such as family members, school staff, etc). A short video clip is worth a thousand words. It can store over 100 hours’ video clips.
* It is easy to carry and use. I think an EEE PC can do the same, but this one is just so easy for my wife to use.
* My boy loves it due to its touch screen. He is motivated to learn to browse around the video clips using the stylus.

Please let me know, if you are interested in it.

Cheers.
