Geeks.com sent us in one of their consumer electronics, the Linux-based Archos 604 PMP for a whirl, and we surely gave it one. This 30 GB PMP is the fourth generation video product from Archos, one of the biggest names in that market.

Will we ever see the day that ogg gets the equal treatment that the other formats get?
No. We will not. Basically mp3 is good enough, the patents are about to expire and hardly anyone uses ogg vorbis anyway. Furthermore, the ogg vorbis format is similar to WMA and whatever ogg claims, nobody wants to risk lawsuits over a format that hardly anyone is using.

I would have thought that as this device is Linux based, then it would have been easy to add ogg vorbis support for audio, and whilst they're at it, how about ogg theora video ?
