i have and i pod and mp3 and i was considering going for the itouch...but its too much money for me, i basically want a wifi electronic because i dont tend to use my music electronics anymore, and i am considering buying this item, i came across it online and had to make sure i saw reviews and by this video i seem to like it, it just seems the web is kinda slow and the maneuvering of the pages seems slow...other than that could you give me more feedback
@CORAZoNdEMELoN1991 I would not recommend the archos. It is a great device, but I have had too many problems with it. I would recommend the Zune hd, the internet is very fast and it has less problems. if you have any questions about the zune or archos just ask.
With the DVR Recorder or the Battery Dock, can I simply connect my external hard drive, then use the archos interface to copy music over? Wow that would be convenience.
Also, do you know if the DVR station works well or at all with Comcast Digital Cable. And how hard is it to hook up the DVR station to your tv?
Mine's in the mail haha. I'm just really curious as to exactly HOW awesome it's going to be.
You can plug a full size usb plug into the base and transfer things between the archos and the device.Plugging the base into the tv is not hard but i do not know if the tv guide will work. it probobly will. I have another video where i show how it hooks to a tv. O yea this is my other account. I have two. My other video is under kartboy1234 account.
like. what do you mean? like a wifi router, or a hot spot?
i am wonmdering if there is something i can buy that will "attract" wifi, like my friends xbox live link does. he has dsl, but i connected to his servers.
yes the archos has a sleep function. if you hold the power button it goes to sleep. if you go in settings and hit hard shutoff it turns off colpletely.
I am pretty sure that you can listen to it and download it. And it all depends on the website. if you have any websites you want me to try just send me a message.
yes you can watch videos in web page view without going into full screen or it can go into full screen mode. oprah browser asks you what you want to do before it loads the page.
omfg nice review of that thing i liked how you said theres nuthin like it in the beginning and how you mentioned the iphone is not like it cuz i got alotta ppl saying to get the iphone but i dont want a cell phone this thing looks awesome plus the 4gb 1 is only 195.00 at a walmart i asked for it for christmas hopefully thats wat ill get lol i want it badly lol
thanks for this, especially for the info about the DVR attachment! i was holding off on purchase because of the built in battery (which i hate). but i ran into such a deal on these, i purchased two of them yesterday.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah, that's really advanced. That web browser looks like it's from 5 years ago. The iPhone may not have a 160GB hard drive, but it's a hell of a lot better than that thing.
well this is different you have to see the web browser to appreciate it. the screen is higher quality than the I phone it has 200PPI the Iphone has 160PPI. And as you know the Iphone cost $600 the archos 605 wifi is $500 with the base stand. I also bought a samsung blackjack for $99. so I get two devices for $1 less than the iphone. I have better battery life from both. so yes the web browser on the Iphone may be more advanced but you are paying more for it and you have to pay the monthly fees
Lol I don't even know why someone would surf the web on devices like these, it's a nice feature but not really convenient on either one so if you take that out of the picture then the iPhone is an iToy compared to the 605.
how to you pay for the movies?
