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
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
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
tHE INTERNET IS AWESOME, RESOLUTION IS SUPERB. IPOD LOST THIS ROUND!! MUCH MORE FUNCTIONS, I CAN USE INTERNET WITHOUT HAVING AT&T LIKE THE IPOD TOUCH. THIS IS THE ANSWER!! NO MORE IPODS NOW ARCHOS RULEZZZ.
I've had my archos for a few weeks now, which means I've seen the ipod touch as well. Well lets be honest - most people will want this device for video mostly. So, for video purposes there is NO comparison, the Archos blows away any apple prod
The Archos 605 Wi-Fi is a great PMP. You almost don't have to worry about video or audio formats, it will play pretty much anything (mainstream, that is). All you have to do is copy it to the specified folder in the internal HD and that's it. No
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
Every year, archos bring it's new PMP's, and this fith generation is the most advanced, useful and technologicaly close to the perfection. You can barely do what you want with your movies, on the web, etc. Bye bye Apple, hello Archos !
I purchased my Archos 605 about 2 days after it was released and couldn't be happier. I'll admit, I had never heard of Archos products before until I started to do a little bit of research on PVP's. Most of my friends have the various for
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
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
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
This item should be rated 5+, best screen I've seen to date, ease of operation, touch screen menu, or buttons. Plenty of space for all your music,videos,DVD downloads, WiFi internet connection. And with the DVR station accessoried acts works just lik
This is an amazing Portable media player. Once you get the firmware update (which if you don't get it seems like a paperweight) then you have many options at your hand. This PMP gets pricy after plug-in and other optional add-ons that seem like they
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
The Archos player is pretty cool. Not as cool as it could be, but cool enough. Here are my observations: a. Awesome video quality. The fact that the screen is bigger really helps. b. Multiple file formats supported. That by itself beats out the iPod a
I rather like my Archos. While haven't played with the WiFi yet, I am enthused about the music, video, and file storage. The picture quality is brilliant even when watching battle scenes in .avi. I wish the menus were a little easier to navigate,
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
these is the most beatiful portable media player ever ,fantastic no troubles easy ,for setup and both dvr too same very nice .
After receiving an email titled " Best MP3 Player you never heard of " I reasearched the Archos 605 MP3 Player. It was hard to find anything negitive about the 605. I purchased the Archos 605 about 1 month ago and now can confirm that it trully
I did my research, lookin' at all alternatives (Ipods, etc.), but my conclusion was that the feature-rich Archos 605 fit the bill best of all: music, photos, (or, anything you might wish to store), and a digital video recorder with which I can record
The only drawback that I find is that it is a little bulky but the big screen really helps while browsing the internet, watching videos or pictures. The user interface is not the most friendly one either but its just a matter of getting used to it. Overal
I've had my Archos 605, which I now refer to as my media brick, for a few months now and I decided to write a review and throw in my 2 cents worth for people who sit there and read all the reviews before they buy. First off, you really do need the we
The first thing I did was fully charge my unit. Then I went to the Archos website, with my unit plugged into the USB port, and downloaded the latest software version for my 605 80 GB unit. Note: the downloads are model specific. My unit was instantly upda
A great product with a lot of features. The only downfall I have found is the battery life. But still well worth the purchase!
Although I had to return the first player because it appeared to have been a returned unit with a smudge near the speaker and an error message when powering-up, the replacement player is fantastic. I'm glad I took a chance on ordering a replacement
I've used mine for 3 months, and have no issues with the unit. Extremely nice, and the plug-ins all work well. The only issue I have is with Archos themselves. It took a long time and a lot of effort to find out that the only way to buy downloadab
Hey, well i am quite amazed with this product and its abilities and am about to purchase it, i am writing a run down of cons a pros, first of all i luv the high res screen and the extremely high quality of the build, and this is something i must tell ever
I was looking for something that could play movies (ideally for small daughter when she flies, as well as when I have to fly for business). I did not want to lug a dvd player with battery, dvds, etc so I looked at Ipod Touch and the Archos. The Archos ( i
I did my research and it paid dividends. The Archos is a great device. It plays most files types except for mkv and unlike the Ipod, you need not convert xvids/divx files before viewing. This continues to deliver and meets my expectations.
After testing the Archos 605 wifi for a few weeks, I can say that it was a great purchase. The large screen is excellent for viewing photos, videos, and perfect for surfing the web. With the internet plugin I was able to connect to my home wifi network an
first off i would like to let you know that i am writing this review on my archos 605 using its wifi capabilities! this player is everything you ever wanted on a portable player. plenty space for music video pictures compared to the ipod. everything is on
