Overall, we were left feeling a little unimpressed with the new Archos 5 Internet Tablet costing £70 more than the iPod touch at 64GB. The two might be very different in terms of hardware options (the Archos has a much nicer screen and can play Flash video, for instance) but we think to properly...

As a media player, this device is great. The screen is gorgeous...touch screen implementation is very smooth. Plays all my video files, music and pictures with very little issues. I don't know about the video recording feature, because I have yet to buy the dock, but if it is anything...

I first heard about this device on Mac Break Weekly and I was immediately interested in the device. This device is perfect for me for many reasons. * First and foremost it runs Android. As a Windows/Linux programmer, owning an iPhone is a bittersweet experience. The iPhone has so much...

I purchased the 8gb version a few months after it came out. I used the device for about 8 months before I got bored of using it and but it in a box for future use/sale. While I used it, I was very happy with the device. I got to use the web, play games, and play almost any video codec (which was...

What can I say about the Archos 5 Internet Tablet? I was looking for a PMP as a christmas present and after using an iPod touch then an iPhone I wanted to try something different in a media player. I was a HTC Hero owner and had really gotten into Android OS so one of the first things I looked...
