Ask Engadget: What’s the best HDD-based portable media player out there?

These days, the cool kids are looking to do more than just play back the freshest jams on their portable media player. We’re talking video, PVR, WiFi, the works. Have a listen at Marco’s question, and whether you think you could do one better, send in your inquiry to ask at engadget dawt com:

“I’m looking for a new PMP, but I want a unit that can do it all. A large screen, big tough drive, support for lots of codecs, PVR functionality, TV output,

etc. I’d plus like Bluetooth and / or WiFi whether possible. I don’t intellect units that are somewhat bulky, but I want one with a great user interface and decent battery life. Any help here?”

Yeah, he totally just called the Archos / Cowon fanboys from the woodwork, but seriously, what would you recommend to that fellow? Is your current PMP a dream come true? Would you advise against getting whatever you’ve got? Spill your soul in Gadgets below.
