 Excellent Travel Entertainment / Portable Hard Drive February 6, 2008

I bought this to keep me entertained when I'm travelling. I find the touch screen great to use compared to earlier models without this feature. 30gb is perfectly fine as I use an ipod to play music so it's main use is for films and photos. With the use of the docking station (Optional Extra) I managed to connect my camera and download all the photos I had taken that day. It's excellent to be able to view these straight away without having to wait until I got home.
Downside = Everything for the Archos is an optional extra (all rather expensive), you don't even get a power supply. The Archos arrives with only a USB cable to charge it with from your computer!!
Some films that you download will not play on the Archos so you have to buy the Optional Extra software! The Internet will only work if you buy the Optional Extra internet browser software.
Be warned that the Archos DVR Travel Adapter only records from the TV/DVD it does not allow the Archos to play back to the TV so you may as well buy the full DVR Station.
Apart from the fact that can spend about the same amount of money again on optional extra's its a great product!!
Excellent value and quality December 28, 2007

Okay, the bad points first. After buying this I had to spend a further 60 to get the software necessary to play movies from DVDs, to get the web browser plug-in and to get a decent case (because the supplied pouch is worthless). I'd also recommend the DVR station for a number of reasons, quicker charging of the 605 being one of them.
Now the good points. Fantastic display, way better than the iPod touch. Very easy to use, either with buttons or the touch screen. The web browser (once you've bought it) is excellent. WiFi is easy to set up and works well. Photos are crystal-clear and the slide-show feature is easy to use. Battery life is pretty good. Overall quality of the device is very good.
Crystal clear screen, very nice February 7, 2008

Bought it to listen to music and watch trailers and vids on the train. Excellent, easy to use. Built in Opera browser is a bit ropey and all the plugins are extra but a good buy. I'm hooked and will buy the next generation from Archos when they come out.

I have to say it was everything i expected.
good quality, large storage, easy(ish) to use controls, great picture and sound and i have had no problems with it.
my only nag is it is quite large but i knew that before i got it. touch screen can be better at times
but do not be put off this is a really good product.
