Features

The first thing you’ll notice about the Archos 5 120 GB Internet Media Tablet is its ultraportable dimensions. At 5 x 0.8 x 3.1 inches, it’s about the size of an oversized Kit Kat candy bar. Weighing in at about 2 pounds, it’s somewhat heavier than a paperback novel. Given the miniscule stature of the Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet, websites, images and video are remarkably clear and easy to see. The Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet’s 4.8-inch TFT touch screen boasts a pixel resolution of 800 x 480. Image fidelity and text readability are never going to be an issue.
The Archos 5 120 GB Internet Media Tablet connects to wireless networks in wi-fi hotspots and at home effortlessly. If no wi-fi is available, you can connect via the 3.5G network. Sending a quick email, checking the news or watching a clip on Youtube has never been easier. The stock Opera browser will be familiar to anyone who’s ever spent time online, and the on-screen QWERTY keyboard is so accurate and easy to use that after a few hours, you’ll forget that you’re working on a tiny touch screen.
The Archos 5 120 GB Internet Media Tablet functions beautifully as an MP3 and media player as well. You’ll feel fine about giving away your outdated MP3 player. The intuitive interface makes switching between songs, adjusting volume, pausing, and rewinding as easy as it is on any iPod. And if you pull out the headphones, the miniature onboard speakers have acceptably decent sound.
 

Reviews From Across the Internet

The Archos 5 120 GB Internet Media Tablet, as the title indicates, has 120 GB of storage space for songs, video, photos, pdf documents and just about anything else you care to put on it. All that hard drive space means that the Archos 5 120 GB Internet Media Tablet doubles very effectively as an external hard drive. If 120 GB is too little for your giant media library, a 240 GB version is available for a marginally higher price.
