Editors' rating: 7,0/10

Average user rating: 8,3/10 (out of 6)

The good: The Archos 5 portable video player offers a large, high-resolution touch-screen display, Wi-Fi, music playback, photos, Flash video and game compatibility, a PDF reader, Mac and PC compatibility, built-in speaker, integrated kickstand, and optional DVR, GPS, and 3G capabilities.

The bad: The Archos 5 has poor battery life, the glossy design is quickly marred with fingerprints, older Archos accessories are incompatible, some applications are still in beta, and you'll need to pay extra to activate many of the player's more desirable features.

The bottom line: The Archos 5 boasts an improved screen size, image resolution, and sound quality over its predecessor, but its Web browser and Flash media playback are disappointing for a product marketed on the strength of its Internet media capabilities.

  • This is a pathetic review. We didn't really see anything //useful//

    I say that Cnet's reviews, ESPECIALLY or media players, are biased and inaccurate.

    Sorry but I think this review is horrible. First, it deserves more than 7/10, but, by the way they made it sound on the video, it should be a 4/10! I don't get Cnet, I think it's a piece of crud, ever since they reviewed the iPod.

  • They are ipod fan boys, no fucking cares that the Archos has a 250gb hdd, 16 700 000 colours and faster internet browser...

see all
