Awesome Gadget

Strengths: Wifi, Big Beautiful Screen, ease of use, simple firmware updates

Weakness: Small hard Drive, Have to buy additional software to compress movies, Need additional hardware to record tv shows

I love my Archos, it's this best gadget I have ever purchased. It does everything accept phone calls. Plus I can take it anywhere where there is a open wifi connection and without carrying a big clunky laptop

Archos 604 Wi-fi

Strengths: TOUCH SCREEN, wi - fi , direct video recording (with optional stand), easy navigation

Weakness: Optional (100 dollar) stand needed to direct record TV, no stylus cradle in device , 30 gb

This is a review for the New WI-FI enabled Archos 604. I have had a few other archos players (last was 500) so I have been able to compare the models. First off let me say that for an all in one media device the Archos KILLS the Ipod Video or the Zune (I have both). The Ability to use the device as a DVR (records TV in avi format) is amazing. The 604 wi-fi is a definate improvement over my...

Delivers Very Well, Great all around device

Strengths: Big Screen, Touch screen, Metal housing, Replaceable battery, DVR capable, Thin profile

Weakness: Slightly bulky and large, 30gb is great, 60GB and 100GB models are too thick

I have been waiting to replace my old Creative ZEN 20GB (owned it for 4 years). But I was waiting for a player with WiFi. This is it! The Wifi has great range and works well the secure networks I have at work. Also works great for public networks too, I have used this at bars, coffee shops and restraunts with no problems. It does draw alot of attention, because everyone is is so used to seeing...

Archos 604 Wifi

Strengths: Great screen, great wifi, easy to use, lots of functions

Weakness: small community, doesn't come w/ software to sync, lots of problems w/ accessories

This product looked very promising at first. It delivers everything it advertises: plays mp3, movies, reads pdfs, great browser. It is slightly sluggish but I don't have a problem. My problem is with the small stuff: they didn't release source code even though it's linux, no pda functions, accessories don't work well (adapter doesn't work properly, leather case doesn't fit properly, etc)

Archos 604 WiFi- por rating

Strengths: Touch screen

Weakness: No AV cable, No DVR staton, Poor Audio, Touch Screen dones not work many times, Need plug ins software

Archos 604 WiFi I have compared many other similar products/features but Archos 604 WiFi it is simply worthless product – as compared to many other similar products. It should not cost more than $200 as such! I am giving lowest ratings for these reasons/problems: 1. A product of $450 and they are so poor that they can’t even supply AV cable? I will cost less than 50 cents for a company if get...
