Best Device I have Ever Owned

"This is a truly amazing device. It is often compared to the iPod Touch, so I think I will compare it to it as well, because people are likely fairly familiar with the iPod. 1. Looks---The Archos looks nice, but I would definitely have to say the iPod Touch is sleeker and overall just more attractive...however looks are the only thing that is better about the iPod. 2. Touch screen---Both devices have a touch scre..." Read Full Review »

Big on space, screen and..size :-(

"GOOD: Storage (160GB!), Screen (big + high resolution + touch screen!), simple USB (Mass Storage), both touch screen and button navigation, plays Flash movies and apps(somewhat limited) and included formats are good. BAD: Too heavy and big for portable use, having to pay for extras like the browser and additional file formats (will stop playback if an unsupported format is found), navigation lacks options (suc..."

"I was impressed with the units styling and design when I first opened the box. I thought the small screen size would be a liability but it is adequate for all personal picture and video viewing. It is really a mini-computer with its own operating system, internal memory and hard drive to store your …"  Read Full Review »

"Archos has been making some the nicest MP3 players for years. They came out with Video Mp3 players years before the Ipod Video and I still think their larger LCD size and amazing resolution outperforms IPod. This is however the first Archos I have owned without a removable battery which is fairly li …"  Read Full Review »

"I use this when I travel. I also had the AV500 model. For the most part I don't think the differences are worth the price to upgrade.

The unit works well. The interface is a little cumbersome and its one thing I wish they would update.

Overall its great for travel. Its the perfect size for wat …"  Read Full Review »

"The Archos 605 is a great product; 160GB is definitely well beyond what Apple users can think of. But the design has some flaws: the one thing that disappointed me most is that you cannot listen to music while reading a PDF file. Artchos definitely need to address this!
