    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent .....but, 11 Feb 2009
    By Mr. C. Savill (Midhurst W.Sussex) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I've had this item for just over two weeks now and I have to say that I'm impressed! Sound and vision are very good indeed (i used to have an iRiver h320 and the sound from the Archos is better in my opinion)and if it wasn't for one minor niggle then I would have given it 5 stars no problem.
    I say a minor niggle but its a little more than that and it has to do with the add-ons; some of them I can understand Archos wanting to sell separately, but others,ie, the software cinema plug-ins and the basic snap on unit should have been included in the box as without them it makes the item very difficult to use. Many file formats are unable to be viewed without the cinema plugins and charging(8 hours without or 3 hours with) and being able to record or view content on your tv is impossible without the dvr snap-on.This is definately a bad idea from Archos and will put some people off from buying it.
    Apart from that my unit is perfect, no dead pixels or flaky paint/scratches appearing and I love the parental setting as I have a few horror movies on my Archos that I wouldn't want my daughter to view when playing games and messing around on the internet(which is fast and very easy to use). When set on parental mode all the files that you have marked will then become invisible on the menu screens unless you enter a code. I also like that you can put it in a sort of sleep mode and that it asks if you want to carry on playing back your last mp3 or film that you last watched or paused. You can lock the screen so you don't accidentally stop watch your doing and the volume buttons will still work when locked.The screen touch sensitivity is good and I have no problems using the keyboard/buttons even though I have fairly fat fingers.
    Archos really have done a good job with the Archos 5, the only real question now is ,durability?
    I'll keep you posted

    3.0 out of 5 stars good for the cost??, 13 Feb 2009
    By D. Huggins "dhuggi" (England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I had been looking into getting my hands on a doit all player looked at many reveiws and specifications untill my head would explode. i decided to bite the bullet and invest in the Archos 5, first impresions was the weight of the thing but not detured i fired and Archos up that locked up instantly! ok i reset it and started playing with the onboard videos & features and i was amazed how sharp the images were. i attempted to transfer my own videos to the unit only to be confronted with "if you would like to veiw this type of file you can buy the plug in"!!.. as with alot of the features with this unit. It seams very obvious that if you want the Archos to do all the things it tell you in the details you will have to spend almost the same cost in add ons as the purchase cost. I came to the conclusion that I cannot justify that kind of cost so i promptly retured the item. dont get me wrong the Archos is a fantastic unit but at a cost.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Awesome ... and then...., 9 Jan 2009
    By Mr. Atg Bell "Evergreen" (Reading UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I bought this a month ago and it really is superb the Internet is (really) fast and easy to use, quite frankly I was stunned. It connects wirelessly & effortlessly at any wifi point , trains, Mcdonalds etc. The touchscreen is great and sound and video quality is excellent.

    However within a few hours it seized up I had to master reset it. When cycling through Pictures it freezes, sometimes does not recognise the music collection until it has been turned off and on again.

    .. Then I noticed tiny scratches appearing all around the edges, from doing no more than breathing on the thing I thought it appalling that these were already forming (it looked like my 4 year old I pod within a frickin day!!).

    The quality is lacking I did not want to wait till my warantee ran out and all the paint had fallen off before trying to get a replacement so sent it back.

    Bottom line *

    I wanted an MP3 player that plays AVI's (not mp4's!) this appears to be one of the only ones that do.

    -The add ons to make this a more useable product cost £ .

    -The current firmware is trash and crashes all the time (3 times a day).

    -Scratches appear within hours!

    -Seems more of a prototype.

    - No removable battery (imagine the battery dies within a year)

    Why don't Ipods play AVI's grrrr
