Do you take the train to work?  Ride the bus?  Fly around the country?  If so, then this PVR is just the ticket to fill the idle hours.  The Archos 605 is the boredom buster.  Set your Archos DVR to record your favorite TV series and catch up on those missed episodes.  Or record DVD movies onto the Archos and take them on the road.  You can leave behind the iPod since the Archos has a 30GB hard drive to store your music, video, pictures and data files.  Archos offers optional plug-ins to allow for the direct playback of DVD files (.vob), playback of PodCasts, and a Web Browser (Opera).   Remember, the 605 has built-in Wi-Fi allowing wireless connection to your home network, or with the optional web browser you can surf the net and play streaming audio/video files.
