Multi-entertainment box
Archos has released the Multimedia 20, a device capable of performing multiple tasks, from displaying digital video and photo images, to playing MP3s, while maintaining 20 GB of storage space. Files are transferable over USB or FireWire.

Shunning trends
Motorola opts to avoid the multimedia messaging trend of late by releasing the T720, a phone with a large color display, mobile internet (via GPRS) and PDA applications (but no MMS). For those longing for a phone with most up-to-date applications, but hasn’t shrunk to miniscule proportions, this may be a good solution.
