The PMP Search Continues

Q. Take 1 Archos AV500, add Bluetooth, and ....
A. The iUbi Blue 2500B
Yes I'm still on the hunt for my PMP (Portable Media Player), Even my colleagues are buying them (albeit the Archos AV700)

But this has to be the best yet (I know I say that every time). Specs include
  • Video support for MPEG-1, 2, 4, DivX 3.x, DivX 4.x, DivX 5.x, Svid, WMV9, 8, 7, H.264, AVI, OGM, Mov, Real Media, meaning no need for converting my (legally backed up) Movies.
  • Audio Support for MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG, AC-3, ASF, AAC-LC and G.726
  • Wolfsan 3D Sound Enhancement
  • 4.3" Widescreen LCD screen (larger than the Archos AV500)
  • 8 Hour Video/15 Hour Audio battery life
  • Record directly from TV, DVD or Video (and I don't even have a video)
  • USB OTG (On The Go) support, ability to download for USB connected devices
  • Weight 260g, 1.9cm deep
  • Bluetooth

advancedmp3players advise this is availble from 30 June for £249, do I get this or wait for the next-gen players with built-in Freeview TV Tuners
