I've had this piece of kit for 6 months now and must accept that this gadget is addictive to say least! be in mobile entertainment or home-theatre entertainment (use the dock with my projector) it fits in very well, unmatched in quality and features. The display is 'crystal' and the projected images are sufficiently sharp upto 2m diagonal.
There are a few shortcomings however, esp the bulk of the hard drive and the usability as the interface isn't really finger friendly. I'd wish that it had the fluidity of the iPOD touch but having owned an AV, a Gen 4 and now a 5 , I have to admit that Archos are making a good effort in making their PVPs more usable.

One of the best models released by Archos a 160GB hard drive holds lots of films, music, photos, even use it to back up a computer whether it be a mac or windows it is compatible with both. What has been added to this series is the wi-fi facility if you have broadband you can sit and pick up the internet and surf the web or even in any hotspots. It's the ideal machine if you have long journeys it's light portable and the 4.5" screen is crystal clear having had the previous model to this one which had half the memory they have certainly surpassed themselves at Archos it's easy to use and stores masses of data whatever you want to put on it.

What I wanted - a simple device to backup and store all my music collection and other media so they could be accesses from the sofa via the TV.
The Achos is great for this and relatively simple to use once set up. You need to buy the docking bay and figure out how to play music via the TV and the HiFi at the same time (basically set up docking station for the TV and connect HiFi via the headphones jack)
it doesn't get 5 stars because
* The instructions are terrible. There is a short paper overview document but the detail is on a set of pdfs installed on the machine. The instructions are not exact enough and don't cover some basic tasks.
* Synchronisation is not exact or and this causes problems with file ... Read More:

This is really wonderful stuff, however, there are some weak points
1. When read PDF, it is a little bit too slow
2. The battery should have a longer time
3. Charging takes too much time
4. The plug-ins should be free, it is very annoying to pay extra money for plug-ins
Good POints
1. Very powerful and the graphic performance is excellent
2. The wifi is good!
3. Fast file transfer speed
4. A lot of free small programs can be installed, like Chess
5. Fair enough if compare to IPOD in Price and Functions.
In sum, this player really worth the money I paid.

This is a superb product. Without any wiring I can now get full DAB (depending on region and reception) in my car and it was so easy to set up - it virtually did it itself. Just fit the ariel, connect to the Highway, plug in to you in-car power socket (cigarette lighter) and let it do it's stuff. Within a minute or two it has found all available stations and identified a free FM frequency which it tells you to tune your car stereo to. And that's it. You're now listening to DAB.
The controls are wasy and straightforward with a very clear instruction booklet.
And on top of that it has an input socket for your MP3 or iPod so you can now play that through your car sterao if that doesn't itself come with a line in.
