They better start bringing better packages to the table, rather than keep making their customers purchase stuff like codecs. That has never sat well with me, and cause me to never consider their products in the past couple years. And for the money their products go for, it wouldn't hurt to include more accessories etc.
Their stuff could also go for a bit of an aesthetics revamping. I find the current lineup to be bulky, sterile looking and just unappealing in general. The build quality is spot on, but how about a bit of sharp looks for goober's sake ?:
Edit: Posting these quotes for my next post...have to switch to my pc:

I think the Raon may combine the best features of the PMA and the 604W, at least for me. Just my opinion. We'll see what the Raon brings to the table when it's available some time in July.
BTW, we have several friends visiting us from Shenyang. The family will probably be going over next summer. I'm looking forward to it.

Some reasons as to why I think that I'm not for the development of said devices whilst selling at CURRENT PRICES. I'll be back...
Let me add this one too:

How about you get your heads out of your a$$'s and fix the UNITS YOU HAVE SOLD FIRST!!! This should be illegal. I am a long time Archos user and supporter, but they are making it so easy to jump ship right now. I just cannot believe that instead of using their resources to fix all of these broken 704's they are running around trying to sell me another new product. I hope this blows up in their greedy faces.
