Advantages: Plays movies, outputs to a TV, lots of music space, Reliable
Disadvantages: None
I had been wanting some kind of music player for some time. I initially considered an ipod but the fact that they break very easily put me off alot, also the price on ipods was too high.
So I looked around for other players, I checked out amazon and very quickly found this. I managed to grab mine for £125 second hand and I was very impressed with it. It playes DIVX movies, almost all music formats, and as it used Media layers ync device it can work on almost all songs.
The controls are also very easy. The GUI is nice, similar to that of a mobile and very simple to use.
What I really liked is how everything comes with it.
It comes with a case, tv output, headphones, etc. And whate more the TV output is fantactic... Almost no quality is lost! you can simply add a movie to the Archos and then just watch the movie perfectally on yout tv!.
It allows you to set up play lists, and on adding music to the device it will altomatically sort songs into authors, albums and tracks.
For music the 20GB space is more than enough, however I do find myself running out of space if I add movies.
Yes another adgantage of the Archos is that it can connect, and transfer files from cameras etc without a pc... What I lvoed about this is that when on holiday, I am no longer limited to the 128MB memory of the camera, I can just plug in my Archos, transfer the photos and then take some more, which saves alot of time an hassle!
Really it's just a great product and I strongly advise it if your looking for a music player!
Summary: Forget the ipods... Get this!

- 10/09/06 Ok yuo transfer via USB to a computer (movies etc).
It uses windows media sync tool which means that basically any movie yuo can play on media player, yuo can put onto the G-Mini.
It has 2 USB ports. One for the PC cable, and one which can attach to other products (eg camera etc).
Th anks for the comments =). |

- 29/08/06 Sounds good, would have been handy on holidays to take some films.
Fix the little bits of spelling, and a little more info and this is a VU.
Cant write etc, people want to know all thats in the box. And a bit more about transferring and controls. |
