Archos 605 WiFi 160GB Portable Media Player 4.3" Touch Screen

from: Archos

October 21, 2007
I was undecided when it came to the Archos 605 wifi or the Apple Ipod Touch. After reading many reviews, I decided to go for the Archos as it had bigger storage capacity, seemed easier to load music/videos etc on, and seemed like fantastic value for money. I got my first Archos 605 about 7 months ago, and almost immediately i found it to be a very problematic device. The battery performance was poor, and it kept on freezing! Some times it wouldnt even turn on! After having it for a couple of weeks and for most of that time, not being able to use it, i took it back to the retailer i got it from, and had it replaced! Problem solved.......well no, not exactly! The second one also had the exact same problems, except this one would also switch itself ... Read More:

Archos 705 WiFi 160GB Portable Media Player 7" Touch Screen

from: Archos

Incredibly poor customer support.
Archos will only deal with its customers problems if you have a WMA number which you can only get after queueing on their premium rate "support" lines. Support lines are off hand to rude. Goods returned not fixed.

This is a real draw back as Archos' appear inheritantly glitchy.

Archos 605 WiFi 30GB Portable Media Player 4.3" Touch Screen

from: Archos

I have had my archos for some time now and find that it is not really delivering what I expected.

The picture and sound quality is good and I have used it to watch films on flights with no problems.

The web TV plug in is of very little value as the channels in the UK are a waste of time. The web radio is quite good though.

I have looked at the vizumi web site for films to download but the selction is very limited. You can buy some films that come with a portable version for the archos but I generally rent films.

It is not compatable with the tiscali TV set top box, so recording from TV is not an option.

I can also confirm the support is useless and I don't think they have ever answered a question ... Read More:

Archos Gen4 DVR Station

from: Archos

August 29, 2006
Having read the above reviews from the DVR I do wonder if perhaps I have a faulty unit. The unit acts as a 'pass-through' when my Archos 704 wifi isn't docked, i.e. phono connection from recording source (there is a supplied Scart adaptor to convert from phono) and phono to Scart out (I can't understand why the phono connectors are all gold plated, but the scart connectors are not). Sat next to my Panasonic 32" LCD the picture quality is notably degraded on the TV, partuculary when seeing any text on the screen). Play back of recorded stuff on the Archos is reasonable enough, but I can't put up with the degraded picture quality on my TV for the bulk of the time when my Archos is not in use (The docking station does have S-video in/out which I have not yet tried, but may ...

Archos 404 - 30GB Slim Portable Multimedia Player

from: Archos

August 29, 2006
I bought this just as another MP3 player with a huge size and lo what i found was - its marvelous

You can store most of your documents and pictures as well as your entire favourite music gallery and yet - there is always space in it...

It has never disappointed with its battery life so far - and is a wonderful and strong player compared to others....

However, people may find it difficult to carry - due to its bulk - for me this has never been a problem. I have a small wallet - large enough to zip my beloved archos in it and carry with me when i am jogging or on the move...

Its a wonderful library of movies, songs and ebooks for me - though i have never used it to read any of the ebooks!

Archos DVR Travel Adapter - Record video on to Archos on the move For 404/504/604

from: Archos

August 29, 2006
This little adaptor which is basically what this item comes down to will easily connect to your TV/DVD/Sky via the component cable leads/Scart adaptor to allow for recording/playback.
It is basically a moulded plug that will connect to the underside of your Archos 4 gen. I have a 404 camcorder and it allows me to playback home movies/record last nights sky. It has the input for a charger power supply so that your archos doesn't run out (but not the transformer). I bought the cheap PC adaptor ( called the docking adaptor) as well as this not only gives easy PC interface but also a power supply that you can use on this device (as the USB on the PC will charge you archos when connected to the PC). This will then all you the store the original interface lead that you get with ... Read More:
