I'm never bored with this thing. Whenever I'm on the subway, traveling, or waiting I always have my favorite movies and songs with me. I don't mind waiting for the train to come at all now.
Love my Archos. I'm computer literate, but not really gadjet literate. This gave me some initial frustration when learning how to transfer content. Now I have my music, pictures, movies and tv shows on it, and I really enjoy using the archos. Especia
Purchased this item as a storage solution for digital photos. The item is easy to use, allows easy acces to all photos, and provides a large viewing area for the photos. It is large enough to view the pictures without a magnifying glass, yet small enough
Strengths: Picture quality, 80-GB hard drive, solid build. Weaknesses: No flip-out stand for viewing, no AC power adapter included, no screen protector overlay included, extra cost accessory needed to route signal through a TV. Summary: (Edited July 09th
Strengths: Plays more formats than most others. Extremely simple to use. Weaknesses: No software that completely tethers togther all of the Archos functions is a blessing , but some see it as a curse. Summary: I started off with the Archos Av300 years ago
Strengths: 80GB HD, Play multiple media formats, Very nice and sharp 4.3" screen, DVR capability, Cheap for its size and what it can do. Weaknesses: To reach its maximum ability, a lot of upgrade software/hardware need to be purchased... Very weak st
My wife and I started using a portable DVD player to go out to dinner, but between battery issues and disk storage (we would have to buy duplicates of my daughters favorite DVD's). My daughter is 3 going on 4 this Dec. I'm able to record her fav
despite the minor setbacks, this baby rox. i am a partner in the anythingbutipod.com website and this takes the cake. fatty screen, awesome playback, and sound. wonderful, and it always gets me a second look at school and my workplace. o, and it totally p
30 bucks for an extra battery (freakin awesome). I love this thing to death.
This media player is really really nice. After owning a video ipod, this archos puts that too shame. Seriously. I sold my other video player and bought this one. Couldn't have made a better choice. U must see this player in person to understand why I
Wow, I love this thing. After I did a little research on video conversion this player is awesome. Thrilled with the DVR aspect, hooked up to my cable box and started recording right away, also recorded an old VHS tape by hooking up to the VCR, no tv, just
If you are really needing the video component - I think the image clarity and color and SIZE can't be beat- the optional DVR station is really cool allowing you to video family and travel and show it on a TV screen to other family or friends-WAY COOL
My primary desire was for a portable video player so I could enjoy documentaries, news shows and downloaded clips at a time and place of my choosing in a format that aging eyes could tolerate.I've tried the iPod video and it works, but the screen is
Unbelievably happy with this product. Far far superior to vidio ipods. Larger, better screen for viewing. Biggest advantage is that it will play most media file types (avi, mov, mpeg), unlike the ipod where you have to convert any of these files to an mp-
Wow. This is one of the best purchases I ever made. This baby can hold movies, songs, photos, and can allow you to record your voice, and also record your favorite television programs as well as DVDs and VHS. If you ever plan to purchase this amazing play
Strengths: huge screen, supports a variety of media formats Weaknesses: to get full use of all the features you have to buy docking stations Summary: This is a really nice media player, but it's a little aggravating having to buy the docking stations
The Archos 504 is everything I hoped it would be. It is necessary to order the adapter kit to tape TV shows, but the ease of use and picture quality is great. The sound is good, but could be a little louder.
I was a bit skeptical regarding this purchase. It has turned out to be a winner. Easy to use, menu is easy to follow. I use it for video recording and playback. Quality is outstanding. Note, Invest in the optional docking station. It is critical for video
Decent Value for what you get. Glad I didnt shell out the 300-400 bucks for it when it first came out. Yes, as other reviewers mentioned, to get all of the functionality that is advertised, you'll have to shell out more money. Also, as mentioned by o
I must say, the actual item is nice. The picture quality is great, sound is good, and so on...it performs well.I will however WARN potential buyers it is not at all, in the least bit, user friendly to load. Out of the box, it supports mpeg4, low and behol
I can't believe that no one else has complained about this but this product does not work completely without additional purchases (and expensive ones at that). It creates a situation where you have to buy extra plugins in order to play dvd files and
Strengths: Nice idea...recording programs from tv and playing them back - sorta replaces the VCR Weaknesses: Unstable Summary: I have had 2 Archos 504's - the first was replaced due to a faulty screen and the fact that it would stop playing and have
I am now the proud owner of an Archos 404, after spending one traumatic month having owned, in my opinion, the far inferior Archos 504.Inferior, you say? But the 504 has a larger 4.3" screen, better battery life, a removable battery, and much larger
I bought an Archos 504 from Target a few months back. Right out of the box it was having boot errors. Basically, when hitting the power button, the LCD backlight would turn on, but there would be no actual activity. No boot screen, nothing. Probably becau
Strengths: Noon, without those so called optional firmware and docking station. Weaknesses: This product is a hook. The price looked pretty good base on what it can do. However, the device will not be fully operational without you buy additional "fir
This is the first item I've ever rated a 1 on Newegg but I feel this item deserves it wholeheartedly. When you consider I bought 1 pmp for nearly a third of the price of this one and it is much better then how could you rate it anything else. Granted
