Features

My Opinion
I purchased my Archos 605 from E-Bay just before christmas and really couldn't be happier with it although it only has a 4gb memory capacity it can be upgraded via an SD memory card it is really easy to use and customise and is compatible with near enough all of the files i have tried playing on it and plug-ins are available for all the files it doesn't play. The WiFi connection is a little slow but is still really usefull as it allows you to download or stream files from almost anywhere however you do need to download the web browser plugin from Archos's website to do this. The screen is a good size for watching films on and is really high quality also the addition of a stand was a great idea as it means that you dont have to hold onto it for an hour and a half while you watch a film. The player software is fast and reliable and i have not experienced any problems with it so far!
All plug-ins for this player are available for purchase from www.archos.com

The Archos 605 Wifi comes in different capacities, the 40GB model being the one I am now a proud owner of.
Out the box:
When I first unboxed the Archos I was struck by the look of the model. Ever since the 605 Wifi was released I assumed the model was silver, but was absolutely shocked when I found ... ...unit.
USB cable:
Archos have decided to stick to their unit-specific USB cables, of which is different from the 504 cable, as there is an additional notch on the end of the cable. The cable fits to the bottom of the unit, and is also used to charge the device from your computer's USB port.
Quick start guide:
Basically it just says charge the unit before use, only in a more glamourised manner.

Advantages: Record directly from TV Disadvantages: Costly upgrades needed to achieve the units full potential
I bought the new Archos 605 wi-fi with some trepidation, as I was replacing a 604 which had died after less than a year. I felt compelled to stay with the brand as I had built up a stock of peripherals (chargers etc) which will only work with Archos machines.
First, the good:
The 605 is more than capable at playing films, music, displaying photos, and going online. The touch screen is a nice gimmick, although I find that I don't use it much apart ... ...tall and thin. Finally Archos have adressed this problem and the unit can now truly call itself a widescreen recorder/player.
And now the bad:
All Archos products do not feel as well built as other alternatives (Apple products for example). Archos also operate a firmware upgrade system so that any bugs can be eradicated following the launch of the player, however this does lead me to believe that insufficient testing is undertaken prior to full ...

Advantages: Superb video, easy to record from TV and DVD, excellent screen and easy to use Disadvantages: Nowhere to store stylus, rubbish case, expensive extras to get best out of it
...they should be included anyway ARCHOS people.
The Archos 605 is an MP4 player. You can listen to your mp3 music and also watch movies, look at photos and store documents. Movies can be recorded fom TV or DVDs. MP3s can be added by using Windows media player. Other files can be drag and dropped when attached to a pc.
In the box came the 605 which is built well, but not a shiny boys toy like the Series 4 ones, that was a little disappointing. It ... ...It also came with a usb cable, headphones, quick start guide, 2 stylii and earphones.
The extras I got were the docking station, needed to record the TV and DVDs. It is very good as it has connections to allow surround sound. Also included was a nifty litttle remote control to help record and use the internet.
I also got a travel battery pack which doubles the the operating time of the unit and allows connection to a TV or computer without the ...

Advantages: More functions than any other player on the market Disadvantages: Have to pay for almost everything extra
I bought Archos 605 WiFi for two reasons at first instead of other MP3-MP4 players because of it's WiFi browser capabilities and the Linux system it operates but I found myself with a surprise when I received it.
The got my MP4 player charged it through the usb cable provided and the tried to connect it to the internet but it said I had to buy the internet browser from the website. After much thought I bought it for 30 euros and did regret it the ... ...have been officially released from Archos to get more you have to be copy them manually from the opera widgets website to the device but still they work fine.
About the Linux system the fact that they mention it is a joke probably from archos since the system is so custom that you can't run/develop any application for it so I wouldn't consider it as a Plus anymore but it's very reliable with hardly any crushes.
Another plus when you buy this Archos ...

Advantages: Huge storage, good screen quality, best device of its type. Disadvantages: You have to pay for extra plug-ins, heavy, ugly.
...is perfect.
At times, the archos can be slow, but this is expected with any hard drive based media player. It is considerably bigger than an iPod touch and is not as sleek, however, for me, I need lots of storage and the iPod Touch's 32GB is not nearly enough. The touch screen is very good for internet browsing and flicking through photos, but the choice to include buttons was a good idea. Sometimes when you are listening to music, you do not need ... ...the speaker quality is poor when playing at full volume.
I recommend the Archos 605 WiFi to people that NEED the extra storage, however, if you have under 32GB of media that you will put on the device, the I suggest you go for the iPod Touch or iPhone. ...
