Advantages: satisfactory sound quality, good battery stamina, supports M4A files

Disadvantages: low quality photo and video viewing, small screen, slow file transfer

The Archos 105 has quite a good playback time once it is charged fully. It has the capability to view both photos and videos, in addition to playing music files.
The low resolution and small sized screen isn't capable of producing high quality videos and photos.

It does boost a fine sound quality which makes it deal even when using the supplied headphones which is quite a long. Upon using a pair of additional headphones there was a minute increase in sound clarity.

The menu system is well structured, making it easy to use and understand. It is a relatively light and portable device, which makes ideal to be used whilst commuting or travelling. Furthermore, adequate battery stamina provided about 23 hours of continuous playback of audio files on average.
But it does lack on additional functions other than the bog-standard features. It does not have radio capabilities nor does it have a voice recorder. The files can be transferred via a supplied custom USB Cable/Socket, making it a potential hassle if you lose the cable.

It is compatible with a wide range of operating systems such as Window XP, Window Vista, Mac OSX and Linux. Unfortunately, Windows 98 is not supported.

Summary: May be suitable for listening to music files but inadequate to be used as a photo/video viewer
