The I-pod Touch killer

"Since I have had my arhos 5 it hasn't left my side. Everyone around me owns an ipod touch but when I pull my archos out they are at an awe. The archos 5 is the ultimate media tablet. If I'm bored and I'm stuck somewhere I don't want to be (Shopping) I just find a free wi-fi and bam I'm surfing the internet. if I want to listen to some tunes bam its right there at my finger tips. My favorite feature about the arc..." Read Full Review »

"First impressions: beautiful sleek design, love the rubbery backside and the enlarged screen! I find that the touch screen UI interface is quite improved over the 605, the buttons all flash when you press them so that is a nice confirmation that you hit it. Also, play buttons and such seem to be big …" Read Full Review »

"This is a great player. I got a really great price from J&R. They were easy to shop with. The only negative side about this player(if there is one)is updating the firmware. Updating the firmware wiped out all of my album art and I had to re-sync my music all over again in order to have my album art. …" Read Full Review »

Great - with firmware update

★★★★☆

4.0

"Great with videos and also a good web browser. Large screen makes it a joy to use. A bit heavy compared to the ipod touch, but it has a much larger screen. Archos tends to launch new models with beta firmware but does a good job of providing fixes. So upgrade the firmware as soon as you purchase. "
