Archos has been manufacturing high-quality (though relatively expensive) MP3 players and PMPs for so long now, we can't NOT think of Archos when PMPs come to mind.

Now maybe there's another cool noun/description we can give Archos' upcoming PMP: iPod killer.

I know we've been talking nonstop about that iPod killer, and we've even shown blurry pics of that supposed device, but there's still nothing really solid to back up these claims about Microsoft's (or any other company's) iPod killer.

That was until we came across Archos' latest Investor kit where an upcoming model (model 504) was being shown, and it definitely looked like something that Microsoft could also be doing.

This device, model 504, is rumored to feature a 30GB hard drive, a 4.3-inch screen, support for GPS and Wi-Fi, and a 3.5G cellular modem. This model also seems to take some features for the large format AV700 TV. If this IS the case, then we can expect a feature-packed iPod killer - and not for Microsoft.

So, can model 504 have a go at the iPod? What do you think?
