Archos monster MP3 player given the Midas touch

What’s better than a media savvy MP3 player? One decked out in gold, of course. For the ultimate in bling this glistening music and movie machine is the perfect travel companion, committed to keeping you entertained when you’re out and about. Just a shame it doesn’t come with a gold chain so you can hang it round your neck with pimpish pride.

The Archos 7 Gold isn’t just about its extravagant casing, however. Underneath its luxurious casing, you’ll find a 320GB hard drive to store your stuff and a 7-inch high resolution screen. It also comes loaded with Wi-Fi under the hood, so once you’ve finished listening to tunes or watching movies you can do a bit of web surfing too.

Top talents
High capacity
With 320GB of space on its internal drive it’ll take a fair amount of time to pack it full of music and movies.

Big screen
Movies on the go doesn’t need to mean a postage stamp sized screen, thanks to its large 7-inch display.

Lose the wires
With the ability to tap into Wi-Fi, you can also check out some websites when you’re within wireless range.

Best price: £434.95 on 15 September 2008

Apple iPod Touch 32GB – If you want something a bit sturdier, Apple’s 32GB iPod touch uses flash memory so there are no moving parts.

Archos 705 WiFi 160GB Silver – If your music collection wouldn’t make a dent in 320GB of space, you could save some money with this lower capacity model.

Creative Zen Vision W 30GB – If you’re more interested in movies, rather than music, this Creative packs a decent size screen.
