I currently have the archos 5 IMT (160gig) unit. I’m happy with this one, except for a major detail. I can’t view any flash video unless it’s fired off into it’s own page. I’d like to know if this new Archos 5 (w/android) will do better? Otherwise there’s no reason for me to dump my current Archos 5, to get the Android Archos 5, unless that issue is resolved.

I purchased one of the predecessors to this device, the 605WiFi with 160GB Hard drive. Within one year the battery needed to be replaced. This was still under warranty but I had to send the device in. When I get the item back, It is missing a screw. I don’t make a thing about it but about 6 months later, the hard drive dies. They wont provide instruction on replacing the hard drive yourself and since it was out of warranty, they wanted over a hundred dollars to fix it. Or they would give you a cupon off the newer model. Since the devices don’t seem to have high quality materials and workmanship, I would not want to shell out more cash for something that will likely only last a year or two. Just not worth the money.
The devices usually only handle a minimum of file formats. If you want to play others, you have to spend money on plugins. I spent over $60 on plugins that are not transferable to a new unit. I also bought external battery pack and DVR unit, total over $100 dollars more. They are also not compatible with the newer devices.
Not worth the money.

Alright, lets get something straight people. The Archos 5 Android is a product out on the market for the non picky people. If your use to paying a large amount of cash for a device that currently changes every 3 months(Apple), stick with them. The Archos is more for the people who don’t expect the world in it. For the more people who are civilize, and dont get caught up on into the “HYPE” of these other bull “BEEP” products. The Archos devices has always been for the more Professional type people, who enjoyed viewing there documents on the go. who elso enjoy the massive storage space for an outstanding price. So for all those critics out there who cant handle the many features cause there mind is use to just handling the basic features of your normal every day MP3 players……….. please, give it a rest.
But on the other hand, the Archos 5 Android is SOOOOOOOOO HOT!

Here is my experience using the Archos 5 Internet Tablet. After unboxing it, I was very pleased with its design. It’s a gorgeous piece of electronics. Sleek, thin, lightweight and with a very sharp display. After that, it was all downhill. It’s touch response is terrible. It randomly lost its wifi internet connection and caused me to have to reset my internet modem and router several times. The screen moved jittery and while the internet loaded quickly, most video files would not play. I thought this thing was supposed to play all the different types of video? It hardly played anything at all. No hulu. No nuthin’! I transfered my own files onto the onboard memory. The vast majority of my videos wouldn’t play correctly. The rtf files all had errors. No ebook reading on this thing either? It just made me think, Jeez, what is it good for? I really really wanted this thing, but I want what it simply can’t give me. Broad functionality. I bought it with an open mind and plenty of excitement, but it left me very disappointed and annoyed. Guess what’s being returned tomorrow? (Just for a chuckle, I should inform you that the PC cd-rom included didn’t work either. It threw an error message and shut down. Heh heh! What a sad little joke you are, Archos 5).

Save your money, the product is not ready for the real world. Company support is terrible. It took two weeks to get a response and they couldn’t provide any advice. Their answer was to exchange the product with Amazon, which I did and the second sucks just as much as the first. No more useful than a smartphone.
