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..."

Archos 605 160GB Review
Great Buy
"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 »

Overall its great for travel. Its the perfect size for wat

Great product, but could be better
- Easy to Set Up
- Fits Well
Pros
- None
Cons
- Daily Usage
Best Uses
"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!
Playlists are not as user-f
