Advantages: Clear colour, sound quality high, prices dropped from old version Disadvantages: screen scratches, exterior scratches.
is excellent because it came with a free screen protector.
You only get a USB charger also. If you wish to charge on the go in a wall or in the car then you will need to buy another charger. Also the computer needs to be on for it to charge.

The battery life lasts through at least two films I have found and then some. It is very good considering the screen is brighter than the old version yet the battery lasts longer. A tip to save battery is to have the backlight off when not needed!
The headphones are Apple's new and improved. They offer better comfort, sound quality and noise canceling. They work very well and yes they are comfortable.
This 30GB model is what I have because you do not need more than that I find. You will find yourself holding films on there that you don't even watch if it is too big. Also ...
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. ...
