5.0 out of 5 stars Archos 5 60GB, 2 Jan 2009
Great product. Don't usually post reviews but just wanted to say that I've had no issues with the device whatsover - mines perfect. Great for armchair wifi surfing, internet radio, and youtube movies. It's also got a really nice song player which synchronises easily via Windows Media Player. It also easily synchronises all your photo's and movies. The screen is really good - very bright and crystal clear. It does finger print far too easily and because of this and for typing on forums, search engines etc I tend to use a stylus. I've now ordered the DVR dock and can't wait to try streaming from my pc to the TV and recording programms for watching whilst travelling etc etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 4 Feb 2009
By G. Musser (Cornwall, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'd like to turn the tables after seeing some poor reviews here.

This device is EVERYTHING I could want! With 32GB flash-based players priced really high, this was the best option for someone like me who has a large music collection. When you add the capability of surfing the web and video playback on a big 800 pixel-wide screen, it plain to see you're getting more than an MP3 player here.
Web phones like the G1 and iPhone are great, but this has full flash/java support and displays at the native resolution of most sites... meaning you only need to scroll vertically on most sites.
I have had the Archos for a week. No dead pixels, long battery life and none of the problems others have talked about.
For me, the dream of an iphone/iPod touch beater is here. No lock-in with iTunes, complete openness, this is a player you will show off to friends about again and again.
