ARCHOS 5 : Price,Review And Features

In terms of storage capacity, a mechanical hard drive is the most cost-effective solution and the Archos 5 comes with a whopping 120GB of storage space. Despite this, Archos 5 is still a svelte and lightweight media player. Archos 5 is also robust and feels great in the hand. Its shiny finish quickly and easily attracts fingerprints, however. With a 4,8-inch screen and 800 X 480 pixel resolution, videos look amazingly crisp and you can watch them in widescreen 16:9 aspect
ratio. The screen's glossy coating increases reflections and offers poor colour balance outdoors. However, it's generally great for entertainment use indoors.

The interface makes the most of the touchscreen panel, but the actual software isn't very intuitive, feeling like a hybrid between older non touchscreen Archos players and this latest generation. A set of earphones, a USB cable with proprietary recharging adapter and documentation are all that is included. This helps keep costs down, but Archos sells a host of accessories, largely based around docking stations that allow you to expand the device's functionality.

Sound quality is more than acceptable, but the supplied earphones are poor The array of pre-installed codecs let you run basic audio and video, but Archos 5 charges extra for all additional codec packs. Where Archos 5 excels is in its versatility. Archos 5 supports flash, so
you can make the most of BBC iPlayer and similar services, courtesy of the built-in Wi-Fi, If you can live without the upgrade options, the Archos 5 is a neat device with good all-round sound and vision.
