Archos 5 (60GB)

Zitat: Pro: + Large screen, great for internet browsing + good music and video playback + 60GB HDD is good value Contra: - Fairly bulky - pipped in performance by the iPod Touch

Zitat: Wired: + Large, gorgeous screen makes it arguably the best-looking media player on the market. At 6.4 ounces, it’s barely heavier than your cellphone. Tired: - Android runs dog-slow when it’s not crashing. 32 GB doesn’t feel like enough storage for a high-def movie device. (Heavier, bigger, hard-drive versions are also available.) Touchscreen is badly botched, which makes typing incredibly frustrating.

Zitat: Pros: + Excellent touchscreen display + impressive media control + slim design Cons: - Pricey - expect to pay more for plugins and addons - no stylus Despite excellent features and performance, Archos 5 is more expensive than previous models

Zitat: Der 12-Zentimeter-Bildschirm mit hoher Auflösung ist ideal zum Video schauen - in dieser Disziplin hält er klar den Testsieg. Dank WLAN ist der Player aber auch zum Surfen und für eMails geeignet - das klappte jedoch bei einem iPod Touch angenehmer und einfacher. Schade: Die Ohrhörer klirrten bei höherer Lautstärke.

Zitat: If you´ll get enough use from the massive array of features on offer from the Archos5 then there´s no doubt that it´s the most effective and versatile device of its type on the market. Image quality is outstanding, the touchscreen is beautifully responsive and you do get an impressive degree of media control, format support and Web browsing in the box. Upgrading the Archos5 with the necessary plug-ins or enabling key features such as the PVR functionality with the DVR station can involve considerable extra expense, though, and in raising the price of the basic 60GB unit the company may have restricted it to more serious users. But in terms of a no-compromise solution, it´s difficult to think of a product that has more potential.
