Archos 605 wifi

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....

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...

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....

...The "Ipod Touch" is undoubtedly a brilliant machine if your interested in the various "apps" and games etc. it has to offer.

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...

Review of Archos 704 WIFI 160GB

605 wifi a great media player

Advantages: wifi, great screen, internet browser, media streamer
Disadvantages: hidden costs for plug ins

...I ordered my Archos 605 80gb wifi from curry's digital and went to collect in store. After the first charge which takes forever using the supplied usb connector (48 hours for the charge light to flash fully charged) I was ready to start using my player. One of the first things i discovered is that to get maximum usefulness out of the 605 you will need to hand over more of your hard earn cash. these include cinema plug ins, web browser around 20 euro's each. Then if you wish to use the player to play videos on your tv or record from a video source you will need to shell out around a further £50 for the DVR station. This I seriously recommend as it charges the 605 when docked much quicker than the usb cable and allows you to charge it without a computer. But back to the player itself, the screen quality is great i can find that it is...
