Archos 5

This device (and I only own the 8GB model) does it all. I surf the web (sans Flash) ; navigate on foot (Backcountry Navigator) ; navigate in my car (nDrive) ; Read e-books and PDF/MS Office (ThinkFree Office) ; IM (Google Voice) ; 3D Games ; Geocaching...

OK, it does everything, but not everything well ; GPS reception is hit-or-miss depending on the user (I am loving my GPS) ; GPS software is not included. For $30US you can get nDrive9 which is outdated. nDrive10 and Copilot8 are newer ; Android 1.6 and...

I gave this 1 star because I couldn't give it a zero

Made with components that go bad in a year so. Terrible Support

Works about as 100% as one could expect. Wifi, 32gig storage, download from the web,tons of apps as if you're really going to use it for anything other than a toy anyway when not at home. Excellent resolution for it's size, drug an unconverted avi to...

It's $40 dollars less now than when I bought it a few months ago. Won't charge properly if it's turned off while plugged in. I just turn it off, plug it in, it autoboots and asks if "charge only" press it, set it down, few hours later it's geen light...

Large extremely high quality display, sufficient storage for most users and expandable via MicroSD for the rest of us, very responsive touch screen, plenty of processing power and RAM for any normal Android usage, amazing Wireless capabilities,...

Only Android 1.6 (Donut), requires some hacking to get Android Market the included AppLib market is very limited. Included GPS software is expensive but if you get Android Market working i highly recommend a cheaper app. Mine shipped with a single dead...

NONE Known

Arrived 8/6/10, DOA ; Unit indicates charging (light IS lit up), For 38 continuous hours! Never indicated to be charged (by blinking the charge indicator light) ; The Archos 5 internet Tablet STILL won't power up, SO I can't obtain products "KEY...

Good video quality ; Good Audio Quality ; Effective Wi-Fi ; GPS Support (Works with Google Maps App)

Short Battery Life ; Buggy version of Android ; No Android 2.0+ Support ; No Android Market ; Bad YouTube Support

Sounds cool by the advertisement

Too many to list but here are some ; Expensive apps. (worthless after unit goes bad) ; They advertise accessories that never quite pan out ; Cheap build compared to other devices and doesn't hold up ; One of the worst product support companies I have...

Large screen with good colors that still fits in a pocket ; Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS ; Great CODEC Support ; Archos has a developer that frequents ArchosFans.com and responds to questions and bug reports (gets them fixed fast) ; Archos released a SDE...

Battery Life: I use a Motorola bluetooth head set for music and get less than eight hours of play on a charge. The headset only lasts six so its not a large problem ; GPS: Can take a few (5-7) minutes to lock at times and the NDrive demo is useless if...

Big, Bright Screen ; Great Video Playback ; Great Use of Android Operating System ; Awesome Look and Feel ; Not Too Big, Not Too Small ; Decent Battery Life

Where do I start? I bought this product because of the screen size, Android, and the ability to play pretty much any music file I threw at it. Well..Turns out it's a pile of rubbish! The thing froze up every 5 minutes (Couldn't even play more than 2...

HD out, DVR, Wifi, Bluetooth, every type of output that an ipad is completely lacking, including Android OS

Android 1.6, NOT 2.X as some ads from Newegg say. No plan to upgrade either, as it appears Archos is coming out with a whole new line. Also, The Apps Library is "Archos Approved" apps only. No Slacker, no Sonos app, etc
