Advantages: Great video playback and hard drive space Disadvantages: Won't sync with iTunes, battery life isn't great
Being a movie fan I enjoy watching films on the go and after becoming bored with the annoyingly small screen on the iPod Video, I decided to purchase one of these just after they came out.
So far I am very pleased with the video playback performance due it having a nice, big, high resolution touch screen. Also after buying and downloading some plug ins from the Archos website I can watch a huge range of file formats on it. (Slightly annoying that I had to pay for them but hey.) Also there is plently of room for films and music on the 30GB although it would have been nice to see a slightly bigger hard drive option.
On the music side of things, the archos is not iTunes compatible and so music syncing cannot be made automatic - you have to manually drag and drop all your new songs into the music folder on the Archos. Once the music is ...
Advantages: Amazing screen. Disadvantages: To many things to list so read the review.
. Although, it is probably just my Archos 605 (30gb) that doesn't allow me to connect to the internet, so I cant even pay for the software that allows me to use the internet more efficiently (as i have been unable to purchase Opera, I havn't shown its price above). However, the few films I have that the Archos can play (without me paying extra) the quality is incredible; although the bright screen drains the battery even more, if that's possible!! Despite this it is still fantastic as the screen quality is absolutely amazing.
Therefore i suggest you play it safe and buy an 80gb ipod classic (latest generation) as I can assure you, you wont be dissapointed. ...
Advantages: Excellent video/audio quality, easy to use interface Disadvantages: Hungry on part replacement
Purchased one second hand from a Gamestation in Nottingham for £80. It was struggling in the first two weeks I purchased it with hard drive failure, so had to replace that. Two weeks later, the battery was found to be struggling, so £10 on top for a new battery.
However, apart from the above problems in the beginning, it's settled down to become a very useful machine. The storage space up from my original MP3 player is excellent, and the video quality is better than expected. The click wheel design as expected from normal ipods is easy to use as per usual
In retrospect, keep on top of it's shortcomings, and it's not a bad iPod. Good screen, and 30GB is more than enough space I need.
