Archos 605 Wifi all round reveiw.

Advantages: Great screen quality and size, built in speaker and stand.
Disadvantages: The only downside is that it is fragile, and can be hard to get used to the on screen keyboard.

...catching piece, when pulling this Archos out of your pocket in a social environment then you are sure to be asked questions about it. The first thing you may notice is the screen, it is a high resolution screen, 800x480 pixels, 4.3'' TFT LCD touch screen. It is an absolute crystal clear picture and watching movies or viewing pictures is so pleasing when you can see every last detail with out any blur or fuzziness. If watching videos is what you want ...
...buy a DVR Station from Archos or any technology shop or electrical retailer. This device allows you to record live TV be it Sky, Virgin media or terrestrial TV. You can then play the recorded items back on the TV through the DVR station when connected to your TV. This means the 605 projects its screen onto a TV screen and you see what you would on your 605 screen. This is a perfect combination of your Archos and TV for any occasion, it would be ideal ...

The Archos 705 WIFI Media Player

Advantages: Touch screen, large memory, great screen resolution, wireless internet.
Disadvantages: Maximum volume could be better through the in-built speakers

The Archos 705 WIFI is probably one of my favourite purchases of the last 18 months. For its fantastically wide range of features including a touch screen, wireless internet, hard drive video storage (recordings can be made directly from a tv), photo storage and a great music library, this is the best value for money Multi-media player I have come across. The Archos comes with lots of accessories including a car headrest mounting case which is ...

Advantages: great video quality
Disadvantages: it's unpocketable

IT'S HUGE in MEMORY capacity and in size. absolutely unpocketable!! but for this price, i think it's a bargain! will i get it? i very much would prefer the 60GB. which is a lot smaller in my opinion, but er, but....apart from that they pretty much do the same things, my brother has been going on about it for a long time, it seems like it's worth it, and for the price which this 250 giga bite media tablet is being sold, i would definitely recommend ...

Archos 605 30gb Not as great as you may think.

Advantages: Amazing screen.
Disadvantages: To many things to list so read the review.

Archos have been very unfair here, as although when you purchase a mp4/mp3 player a mains charger is not included, you usually can cheaply buy one yourself. But what Archos have done is (unless you want to charge up using your computer) make you buy a £30 - £50 dock to charge it up on after the £180 you originally spend. However, if you don't mind dishing out this additional cash that's not all you have to pay for. You have to pay for the program ...
...bad I truly believe that Archos shouldn't be allowed to say that it can produce 16 hours of music playback, as it only can achieve 6 hours at most on 3/4 volume. 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 ...

CIAO Review on the Archos 105 - Colour: Red 05/02/2008 Archos 105 2GB of Storage* Available RRP date - 06/2007 - Archos Introduction - > A short insight into Archos. The foundation of Archos was set-up in 1988. Originally it was a company dealing with digital media storage. It grew with market trends into new technologies; and became a well-known brand within this market. It was a natural progression that Archos got into portable media players ...
...and video. Archos now is a reasonably priced brand in portable technologies. Certainly not a well- marketing brand like Apple but still highly regarded. If, you are not aware of Archos; I can state that everyone in the Western world has been using their products and technologies on a frequent daily basis without knowing it. Anyone who has been through an electronic door while on a shopping trip, or had had their credit card scanned or even used a ...
