  • Too many extras are expensive
  • Requires a separate dock for connection to TV
  • Fairly bulky

  • Elegant design, spectacular video and music playback
  • On-board e-mail client is still in beta, awkward to hold
  • The Archos 5 is a beautifully designed portable video player with a stunning screen and very good audio and video playback. But do factor in the cost of accessories and plug-ins. ...

  • Large, high-resolution touch-screen display; Wi-Fi; music playback, photos, Flash video and game compatibility; PDF reader; Mac and PC compatibility; built-in speaker; integrated kickstand; optional DVR, GPS, and 3G capabilities.
  • Requires a proprietary USB cable for charging and transferring content; glossy design is quickly marred with fingerprints; older Archos accessories are incompatible; some applications are still in beta, and youll need to pay extra to activate many of the...
  • 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.

  • El diseño metálico es muy atractivo, La gran pantalla de 4.8 pulgadas y resolución de 800x480 pixeles no tiene igual, El navegador Opera y el soporte de Flash 9 hacen que sea uno de los dispositivos portátiles más completos para navegar, Su relación costo
  • Su diseño metálico lo hace un imán para las huellas digitales y manchas de grasa, El software en constante beta hace que tengamos que reiniciar en más de una vez, Tener que pagar más de USD$40 por tener mayor soporte de codecs, Demasiados clicks para lleg
  • Para muchos este es el mejor dispositivo multimedia que se puede comprar, y no está lejos de serlo. Su sistema operativo, un Linux modificado, hace que la interfaz táctil responda con prontitud, pero necesita mejorar la estabilidad ofrecida. Además, eso...

  • Reflets, Pas d’USB standard
  • L’Archos 5 n’est plus seulement un excellent baladeur vidéo, c’est aussi un joli produit au design vraiment réussi avec un encombrement relativement réduit. Si le disque dur de 60 Go vous semble trop juste, des versions de 120 et 250 Go sont également...
