    Hi Gienah,

    The Archos players offer a few things usually not found in other MP3 players (depending on the model), such as:

    • Reads many more music, photo and video formats
    • Built-in Wi-Fi
    • Widescreen display
    • Huge hard drives (up to 160GB)
    • An optional PVR docking station that lets you record TV shows, movies and sports right onto the unit

    Hope that helps!

    Best,

    Marc Saltzman

    Is there a such things as a digital voice recorder that has the ability to directly type into the laptop once connected? The device would need to be Mac compatible.

    Hi Marc….I have a large quantity of printed photographs that I’d like to have professionally scanned onto my computer. Can you help me with some pointers on finding a reputable firm to do this for me?

    Hi Marc,

    I have a 3rd generation (8GB) iPod touch, and I was wondering if jail-breaking my iPod is a smart decision or not. Will it damage my iPod? What are the pros and cons?

    I have lots of old prints and even 50 year old slides that I would like to put together in a package suitable to give as a gift to each of my children (already did it on a VCR years ago). Given the new technology available, what is the best method I can use to do this?
