I have only had the product a month but so far I am very satisfied.
I bought this item for my 2.5yr old on road trips. Chose this over Apple products because the screen is larger and the storage space is much greater. So far I think it is a great product. I also purchased the Archos DVR Station so I could copy shows fr
I've owned several mp3 players in the past including the Archos 605WiFi, the Dell DJ20 and the ipod Nano 8Gig and I have to say that my Archos 5 is very pleasant to operate and the sound quality has been definately improved from the 605. The GUI is s
I bought this product as a birthday gift for a friend who had expressed an interest in it, since I have no great knowledge of electronics. She has been totally happy with it and reports in regularly as to how her whole family is enjoying it. The gift pur
I am using it with Windows and Linux (Ubuntu), works very good and automatically chooses between windows media device and linux/macos access, reproduces lots more content than the iPod (I gave goodbye to mine) but I hope they increase the number of availa
I was a little cautious about purchasing such a expensive replacement for my faulty Sansa View 16GB MP3 player. This portable entertainment powerhouse has greatly exceeded my expectations. The internet browser can navigate full pages unlike other portab
PROS surf internet well, good sound quality, plenty of memory compared to ipod touch CONS won't always load or loads internet videos slowly. Hard to transfer from itunes to the archos
I love my Archos 5. You get internet, widgets, flash games, a pdf reader, movie player, and a music player all in one. I used to have the Archos 605 so I understand when people complain about Archos penny pinching us about the plug-ins. But now, the Archo
To start I have been a apple guy and for years and I always hated the stranglehold they have had on their customers i.e.. (its apple or nothing!!) Display-Now that I have the Archos 5 160gb I can use either windows media player 11 or drag and drop mode!!
The idiots who are giving this one star are technologically impaired. Don't let their reviews fool you like they almost fooled me. I had a Creative Zen Vision for about 3 years when the screen suddenly cracked on me, how I don't know. I just too
I decided to buy this as an upgrade to my Archos 605 (160 gig). I figured I'd keep one in my car & use as an mp3 player & take the other to work to watch movies at lunch. The differences: The 505 right off the bat has a much clearer picture,
This past holiday season, I got the gadget bug when several people in my family were upgrading to the iPod Touch 2nd gen. I was so into the Touch that I almost made the purchase without doing any other research, but my husband talked me off my high and co
I had been reading reviews and watching this product for several months, but wanted to get my hands on one before committing to that large of a purchase. It went on sale and I knew I wouldn't get it at a better price so I took the leap. I am so happy
I purchased the Archos for my husbands birthday. He is the type of person that has to have all of the new electronic gadgets. When I found the Archos I knew it was something he had never seen before. He was very happy and pleased . The Archos is all they
I'll make this short and sweet,lol. I've owned 5 different MP3 video players over the years. Creative Zen was always my favorite but I wanted something with a larger screen. I gave this a try and have no regrets at all. It plays all my music, tv
I can't belive some of these reviews, they either don't know how to use this or recieved defective units. Ok,I'm not crazy about the ala cart add on's. They should include most in the hefty price tag. Aside from that this does what it
I write this interview two weeks after my purchase to ensure the new toy glitter does not cloud my judgment. This intended as a review of the device itself. I cannot speak to the interoperability of docks, add-ons, etc. I am thoroughly impressed with th
Well... I've had my Archos 5 IMT for about a week now. I've been running it through it's paces, and so far, it's exceeded my expectations. I really only considered two items to replace my aging archos 504 - the archos 5 or the Cowon Q5
This is a great Media Player. It beats any Ipod hands down if you're interested in watching movies. The screen is beautiful and crisp. If you're interested only in Music, then this may not be the best choice and an Ipod would probably suit your
Huge fan of this product. Easy to load up video using it like an external hard drive. Browsing experience is good, mail program is nice, battery life is good. They did a good job overall.
There are already some excellent reviews here that are very thorough including one comparing it to the 605. For those who know me I will do something utterly out of character and be short and sweet. I bought the 250GB 5 just four months after buying the 6
I bought this fabulous device for myself in September 08 because I was looking for an alternative to a laptop computer that would have cost me a lot more. I wanted to find something that wasn't a child of the uber rich Microsoft or Apple devices. I
Although I am still getting used to the IMT have found it to be superb. Great clarity of the screen and excellent sound quality also, still havent quite sorted out using the WIFI web browser but will sort it. Have the old Archos 20GB AV 1290 and the 5 IMT
I own the IPod touch, Nikon N810, and now, for the last two months, the Archos 5. The Archos 5 is easily best of the group in its display, Web browsing and multimedia file access and display. This is partly because of the superb screen (4.8 inch diagonal,
Pros: - Massive capacity - Impressive feature set - Made for experts - Works well with 3rd party file syncing solutions - Excellent documentation - Excellent audio quality and volume - Replaceable battery - Regular firmware updates Cons: - Expensive - Hea
I had recently bought a Cowon O2 PMP and was for the most part happy with it as a basic PMP. I was sold based on the 8+ hour battery life and the fact it could play almost anything without transcoding. I was always a bit disappointed though by the low r
I was really excited about getting this player, and bought it via Amazon on release day. I even paid the extra $3.99 on Amazon Prime to get it shipped next day. Opened the box and marvelled at how beautiful it was, then began the disappointment. It came s
I ordered this product to be used as a video player while I am at work, and it functions very well as a video player. I also own a Zune and this blows the Zune out of the water. I will list some of the pro's and cons. Pro's Huge screen size, e
I'm an iPod fan. Yes, i've owned every version/generation and probably will continue to do so. But when I met the Archos family something clicked. It was like meeting that cute girl across the room for the first time. I first was introduced to A
Unlike what that idiot who "reviewed" the Archos 7 320GB Internet Media Tablet, i actually OWN this product. pre-ordered it from here at Amazon on August 25th, recieved it today. Have been playing around with it for a little bit, and so far, i
..... I Can't really say anything but one word which is again ""Magnificent"" "IF YOU LOVED YOUR ARCHOS 605..YOU WILL ADORE ARCHOS 5" GO AND TRY BY YOURSELF NO NEED TO LISTEN OR READ FROM ME..!!?
I purchased this as an upgrade to my beloved Archos 605 160GB. I actually purchased this directly from archos because I had trouble getting it through Amazon. First impressions: beautiful sleek design, love the rubbery backside and the enlarged screen!
ok im 36 years old have been working in I.T. for abot 10 years i have seen some pretty good things come and go but this is one thing i dont know how i lived without it can do just about everything you can think of archos nailed it dead on with this on
I wanted an upgrade from my Creative Zen Vision W and I didn't want a smaller player. So after much deliberation I chose The Archos 5 120 Gig I am a software and hardware geek and i don't mind that The software is still in beta partially because
Pros: 1.4.8 inch touch screen at 800x480. 2. 250gb HD. 3. AAC support (pay extra but worth it.) 4. Great sound. 5. The best web browser on any Mp3, PMP player.If you think the iphone has a good browser then think again. Like browsing on a laptop.Flash 8 a
I've had the Archos 5 250 for several weeks and I'm enjoying all of the main features. Amazing screen-bright, good color quality and resolution. Movies and photos are beautifully reproduced. Web experience is quick, clean and flexible-fit width,
I recently purchased the Archos5 120gb to replace my Cowon S9. Let me tell you that this Archos is MUCH better and easier to operate. First of all the Cowon was a great sounding player, but it felt flemsy and forget about trying to create a playlist....it
My husband loves his new toy and I do to. The picture is great, and you get tons of radio stations all over the world. I personally don't like the size (to big) but he likes it. I recomend the item 100%.
When I started looking for a new mp3 player I looked at the ipod and the zune. I wanted to be able to look at web pages like the ipod touch but I wanted a lot of extra storage space like the ipod classic or Zune. The Archos pretty much had everything I wa
I've had this little gem (Archos 5) for a few days now. I upgraded the firmware using wifi right out of the box. I also bought the battery dock and leather case which I like both. The 600mhz CPU flies around the GUI, which tends to be very respons

So far, I love this device. Previously, I owned and used a Microsoft Zune 80GB (the hard drive of which broke) and Sony PSP 1001 (which was getting quite old) regularly. The Zune I used as my media player and the PSP I used as my mobile web browser. I
Archos 250 Gb for Videos downloaded from the internet,Internet Radio station 12,000 plus Web TV and Flash Videos. Ipod Classic 160 Gb for my Boombox and for my Home Theater.It holds all my CD collection. Sandisk Sansa Fuze for my MP3 collection.It has SDH
I bought my Archos 5 (250GB) about two weeks ago. First of all, I thought long and hard between iPod Touch and Archos before making the purchase. I got an Archos ($279) and very happy with it so far. I should mention that I also bought the DVR dock ($6
Ideal gadget for frequent travelers - Take with you the movies you don't have time to watch, music you want to enjoy and pictures to think of home all on the go and wirelessly! Love it!

I ripped my entire music collection to CD quality WAV files and this player plays them fantastically and has plenty of storage for them. I would defenitely recommend this to high quality music enthusiasts. By the way, this player supports FLAC, which is
ITS AWESOME!!! had the archos 504 for two years and finally crapped out, so upgraded to the archos 5 and it rocks. the software, touch screen style of design are huge improvements. ease of access amazing. i love the web radio. the video player is HD quali
It all started When my Toshiba Gigabeat S 60gb stopped working, I was without a music player, that is until I thought about my friend that showed me his Archos 605 Wifi. I looked at Archos's website and I found the newer Archos and decided to find a
Ive always seen Archos players in gadget magazines and thought that they look really nice and can store lots of data. Not too mention the cost; when you compare the size of the device and storage space, its such good value when you compare it to other med
