Review of Archos 105

Archos 605 wifi

Advantages: Great size screen, generous amount of memory, simple interface
Disadvantages: Chunky design, not as portable as some devices,

...If you are an i-pod loyal looking for a new video device than look elsewhere, but for those seeking an alternative look no further. The Archos 605 provides a worthy alternative to the I-pod video, although it suffers from a less ergonomic design and is heavier due in part to the hard drive. However where it does better the ipod is it's durability with a rugged case and strong solid build quality feel to the buttons it will be hard to break. The large screen makes viewing a pleasure and the battery is capable, in my experience, of at least 5 hours solid video playback but i am yet to meet the claim of 17 hours music playback advertised with the unit averaging about 13-15 hours without recharge. The interface is simple and straight forward and should take a short period of time to familiarize yourself with. The memory is generous...

Review of Archos 605 WIFI

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.

... "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. 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 from your portable device then Archos 605 or any Archos is a good choice. It is also possible to 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...

Archos 605 is the perfect portable media device

Advantages: Idiot proof software, excellent video quality and sound quallity, record of tv... (see above)
Disadvantages: plugins needed to play certain video formats off the internet and surf internet, hardware for tv

...The "Ipod Touch" is undoubtedly a brilliant machine if your interested in the various "apps" and games etc. it has to offer. The archos 605 WIFI will never act as a dog whistle or allow you to drink a virtual pint, but for the costumer wanting intelligent simplicity in an excellent MP4 player the Achos 605 is for you.

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 great for when your trying to entertain the kids in the back of the car on long journeys. Its memory is around 40gb which is quite large for its size and allows you to store thousands of songs and around many hours of videos. The resolution is also extremely impressive....

Review of Archos 204 20 GB

Archos 604 Wifi

Advantages: Touch Screen, Wifi and Quality of Picture
Disadvantages: Speaker, Other Expenses

...buy a file that is transferred to your Archos to allow the playback. This can be bought from the Archos site and costs around £15. There is also Wifi capability. This allows you to connect to a Wifi connection and surf the internet. It also allows you to get updates for the Archos while you are using the internet. It is easy to browse internet websites because of the touch screen, and it uses an Opera browser. There is a built in speaker, but it shouldn't be called a speaker. It is not very loud, and the quality from it at high volumes is terrible. It should only be used when you can keep the volume down so that it does not get distorted too much. Although, the sound quality that can be heard through the headphone socket is excellent, although this will also depend on your headphones. The device is charged by attaching it to your...
