Advantages: Great size screen, generous amount of memory, simple interface Disadvantages: Chunky design, not as portable as some devices,
have a problem with the unit freezing but a recent firmware upgrade cured this problem. Also pressing the "lock keys" button at the top of the handset used to cause it to reset however this has been rectified by a firmware update.
Overall this is a massively competent real alternative to the Ipod and should be considered by anyone looking for a feature heavy portable media player but avoided by those put off by its size or unfamiliar interface. Plugins can be purchased to enjoy this unit to the full extent priced in Euros and available from the Archos website they do extend the features greatly ( Web browser allowing the unit to use its Wifi and an access point to become internet enabled), though without them it does not prevent it from being a serious contender. ...

on the plane.
We aren?t pious and didn?t intend to go on a pilgrimage and tick off all the holy sites Israel has to offer, we decided to stay in Tel Aviv (where the international airport is) for two days to shake off winterly Germany and then to go on to Jerusalem for six days.

"Archos 605 Wifi"
This product is certainly an eye catching piece, when pulling this Archos out of your pocket in a social environment then you are sure to be asked questions about it.

You can then play the recorded items back on the TV through the DVR station ...
