I saw that, and i honestly wish i had the money to buy one, but i think i would still wait until its had some consumer use before i buy one, after hearing all the problems with Archos on here.

yea agreed

do you know if the flash variation will take an sd card? would be nice to be able to boost this thing to 64gb with a card

there looks to be an extra slot on it in this picture, although it'd be crazy to have it open like that if it were a place for micro sd

I think on the site it says it can accept SD cards although i forget if it is MicroSD or SD, in theory Android has to have an SD card slot in order to operate.

nice

they updated their specs

it does include a Micro SD (SDHC compatable) slot

"Flash Memory: 8 to 32 GB* + Micro SD Slot (SDHC compatible)"


soo that's another 16GB for 40 bucks


pretty soon another 32GB for probably 2 times that

Yeah i would prefer the 500gb model myself just to hold all the movies i would rip to it, but the MicroSD slot would be perfect for all my music.

I'd prefer the HDD too but i'm worried about the battery life for it

True but i thought they all got about the same 7 hour video use. I could be wrong i really didn't look but i would imagine they have put some impressive batteries in them.

I pre-ordered it over the weekend on Amazon. They had it for $80 off. The stars aligned and whatnot so I went for it. I wish I could get an answer as to when it is going to ship though.

Just spoke to Archos directly and they said that they should be getting units out to Amazon and other retailers in the next two weeks.

Finally got an email from Amazon that my 500gb should be in my happy little hands next Wednesday. Really hoping this is worth the money.

Who is god's name came up with "A5S" as a product name?

5 looks way too much like an 'S', which isn't the best name to associate with your product.
