I am really enjoying this product. It is easy to use. It will bookmark movies, audio books etc. How great is that? The Wifi with the Opera plugin is a great asset. Opera also has many plugin for free. I am glad that I purchased this item and have re
Every time we take a road trip, my wife insists on driving since I have a "heart condition" & she's afraid I'll pass out while driving (she's paranoid). I used to hook up my portable DVD player to the visor on the passenger si
I've had my Archos (or Archie, as I tend to call it) for about a year now. I use it almost everyday. From a MP3 player (yeah, a bit bulky but I'm like 6'3 and 260lbs with big pockets - I hardly notice I have it on me), to a portable zip dri
I originally bought the Archos 5 years ago as a gizmo for myself. That being said, we're now on our 4th model (not b/c the device broke, but b/c we kept upgrading to newer models) and it has long since turned into my daughter's favorite enterta
I don't know why people spend more money for less and locked up hardware from apple. Archos is the way to go!! Lot more memory, touch screen, wifi...it is the great combination. I think the hard drives can be replaced with a laptop hard drive for la
If you're 15-years-old and only interested in listening to the latest Rhianna or Kanye West tunes, buy an iPod (don't buy any of the other mp3 players that do as much or more for less money than the iPod because you won't be as cool as your
AWESOME. 5
When I purchased this product I was worried how it would function with various video formats and with online access. I am most pleased with the variety of videos that I can play and the internet speed I experience through it. I am able to most all website
This is my second and with out a doubt not my last Archos! I have been following this company for the last ten years and their products just keep getting better and better. The Video quality is great and the screen size on this one is perfect, not too big
This is a truly awesome product. I have been using it for some time now. I use it to listen to music and audio books, get on line when traveling and check e-mails, watch movies while traveling, play games, and even read many e-books. Move over Ipod .
Archos 605WiFi Great product maybe too pricey to be called a Gadget but when you grab one up on Amazons "Deal of The Day" you can't not just beat the price or help but to buy one,but at that low price you can call it a Gadget or anything el
I use my Archos mostly for videos and web browsing. I bought the additional $30 web browser plugin from Archos. I watch a daily bible study show that comes in wmv format, so I like the fact that the Archos plays it natively.
Great product and fast delivery! Very easy to use and such a great package. We plan on buying an additional one.
This device is a superior alternative to the ipod for portable media viewing. I upgraded from the Archos 604 (also a great device). Wi-fi browser is a bit slow, but does work. I wish there were an e-mail client for this device, or current Flash supported
I like all the capabilities of the 605 player, but you have to pay for all the different wifi programs on it, not like the Ipod.
I don't understand the 1 and 2 star ratings on this device. although it has been replaced with the Archos 5 - same device in a sleeker, smaller package - the 605 is a great PMP at this price. I have mine for 2 years now and it works flawlessly. If
This item is sold as a personal media player...or really as just an mp3 and video player. However, I use it as a car video player for my kid and I couldnt not be happier with it. I put all sorts of thomas the train, bob the builder, etc video on it and al
Excellent product ,I use it in conjuction with Archos camera ,used for body camera and suv camera. Lightweight and compact ,easy to conceal.
I've had my Archos 605 for two years now and its the best portable electronic gagdet I've ever bought. Surf the net, download movies, show, music, pictures, or your own video in any format. Never have to worry about compatibility. Also, purchase
The Archos 605 is probably the best Media Player I have ever bought. Its not so much of a brick (consider that my hands are kinda small) and its more than enough capacity for me. After trying to find another option in the market I decided to go with thi
I upgraded from the Archos 504 160GB to the 605 160GB - massive improvement and I'm glad I upgraded. The screen and resolution are fantastic, the wifi and web browser allows me to view youtube videos in bed when I'm not quite ready to asleep. Th
While I'll probably never use this as an MP3 player (I have smaller devices for that), it makes one nice video player. I've been playing with one for a little while and here are my impressions thus far: Positives: 1) The video. Wow!!! I doub
I have only had mine for a few hours, but it is amazing. The video quality is far better than i would have expected, and playing it on my TV with the dock is BEAUTIFUL! GET ONE IF YOU CAN! EDIT: after 3 days with my archos, i am still in love with it, but
this is my third media player (zen vision M, broke, Vision W, gave to a friend) now this.. it is by far my fav! i like how i can add and remove from my archos via wifi... you can move files around on the device itself! you can download things from the we
This is awesome. It can play everything and is sweet. They kinda jack you and make you buy the DVR and extra software add ons like the web browser and mpeg2 plugin, but if you have enough money to buy this thing that shouldn't be too big of a probl
This is a great buy. Basically everything you can think of this thing has. You can manage your files from the device, the pictures look great, and the dvr feature is awesome. The itouch doesnt have half of the features this has and its less expensive. Get
Like many others, I gave up on my Amazon order and got it directly from Archos. I've been happily playing with it for the last couple days and really quite happy. To be fair, I am upgrading from the Archos 604 Wifi so I am already pretty well famil
The device is amazing. It is not apple and so can be accessed as a hard drive by any windows computer (or linux for the geeks among us) and it will do it all. Movies, music, pictures, videos, podcasts, record tv and playback to TV or Stereo system and i
I should preface this by saying that this is in fact, my first portable video player. The Archos 605 is my upgrade form an old iriver H10, a perfectly great mp3 player, but i wanted video. After many moths of search, I knew it had to be Archos, and I chos
Great product! Huge hard drive, fast load times, great screen (crisper and brighter than my old Zen vision w). Archos is updating the firmware for this thing often. Did I mention that the Archos 605 supports A LOT of formats!!! I have used this product
First of all, waiting for this device was frustrating but worth it. I originally puchased from [...] but they have no idea what customer service is about so I bought from the beloved Amazon.com. As always, seamless transaction. I was so excited when I
The Archos 605 Wifi ROCKS!! The product is amazing because it offers all the same features as the iPod toutch and more for the same price or lower(depending on model). Flippin overrated iPods dont have a chance against the Archos. I have the 160GB version
I've been mouth-watering after one of these for a while. I finally took the plunge and bought it. It did not take too much time to learn the new interface. I got the 160gb version so I have a lot of storage space for anything from music, music videos
If Archos, the company, had competent management, its products would be world class. Unfortunately, the company's management is not overly competent, so it turns out near exellent to excellent products that take a clobbering in the marketplace. The A
This is the best portable video player on the market. There are others: the ipod (classic, touch etc), Zune, PSP etc but Archos players generally tend to be better in terms of support for a wider range of video formats, and the Archos 605 is the best de
I have owned my archos 605 wifi for about 70 days now. I am a high school student and this gets me throught the day. All I do is record jay leno and conan o'brien at night and watch it during free time in class. The people around me all have video Ip
after reading many many blogs and reviews i decided to go with the archos 605 and i havenet regreted so far. ive had it for about a 3 and 1/2 months now and everything looks great. Video is incredible with its resolution of 800x480 which is one big reas
This entire review is predicated on a well-functioning unit without any bugs or glitches. From all of the research I did before plunking down the cash, it was clear that Archos customer service is abysmal for malfunctioning units. Thankfully, like I sai
This is by far the coolest portable video player or MP3 player I've owned, which is saying something because I always want the latest & greatest. After using an iPod (some version or another) for the past several years, I would worried that I
There were some prior reviews saying that tech support was poor. Don't know where they contacted for support, but when I filled out the on line registation at their web site I then got a special tech support user number. I sent an email to them (they
I've bought this beautiful little portable player for all of my videos and music but it is also excellent back up hard drive for all of my personal files.
I am very satisfied with my purchase. I've read other reviews and I know that certain codecs and add ons like the web browser cost extra but, I understand why Archos didn't include them - because they would drive up the cost of the units. I cons
I looked into buying this product for several weeks before purchasing it, and I am so glad I did. I take it everywhere with me. Half external hard drive, half personal computer (limited functions of course), half MP3/video player (3 halves??? j/k). Wit
This is a fantastic product. I've been waiting to buy an MP3/Portable Media Player for a while, and this was worth the wait. I am a techie person, so I can't stand the iPod/iTunes system to restrict what you can do with an iPod. I like using iPo
I am really a big fan of my Archos 605. The 800x480 LCD touchscreen was my main reason for purchasing -- 4.3 inches is at the high end for a PMP, no doubt, but the pixel resolution is what really grabbed my attention. If you have video with subtitles or
Hi Everybody, For a long time, i've been an Apple customer for almost all the gadgets they sell, iPod Hifi speakers, iPods from the Mini to the 5.5 generation, i ow a Macbook Pro, and an AppleTV. so my review is from that perspective. I got angry wit
Great photo and video resolution, really nice audio quality, good Internet connectivity, and easy to navigate. Easily syncs to Windows Media Player to download files. Somewhat awkward to use touch screen keyboard on Internet access, but not much of a pr
This product is everything I could ask for and more! 160 GB is more than enough space and I found that I had no problems with any of the products features. Heres my lists of pros and cons (if any). Pros: tons of space sharp screen with many viewable angle
This is the best linux driven media player available today. The price is low, and the value is high. I love playing with thing. Internet, share computer files, hdtv, too much to list! Buy one!
I received the Archos 605 WiFi 30GB for Christmas and I am very impressed with the bang for the buck. The good: This is a well designed product that seems to be build very solidly. The image the screen produces is phenomenal. High resolution, excellent
