User Review for Archos 605 WiFi (30GB)
Love it
Apr 28, 2008Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: WiFi, Flash/VOB player, records/edit video, USB host...
Cons: No radio, pay for many add-ons.
Opinion:
Seriously a better device for OTG movie viewing but not really for music lovers due to it size. A 160GB could weigh down your pants. Specs as covered by CNET:
Screen: Great screen, clear and sharp. Everthing conducted on set is stunning visually.
Output Video: To TV (CRT) @ 34inch is sharp with movies converted @ 576X432(other resolution not yet tested). $$$ requires video out module.
Output WEB: surfing is nono on both CRT and LCD, text is distorted. WIFI range is limited, can't detect >15m(with bends). Requires docking station and mini keyboard to surf, if not, distance limited by cable. $$$ docking station.
Sound output: via speaker-clear but not audible when low, starts to distort when churned up. Best to stick to ear-phone OTG or speaker(hamburger or mini-X) at desk.
Flash/VOB: endless download of youtube movies. VOB limited to non copy-righted DVDs, mostly chinese drama.$$$ plug-ins
