Pros: Great video, if you don't mind paying for the aditional plugin. The default android music player works very well however, the Archos Media play is somewhat lack luster and prone to buggy play back (1 out of maybe 50 mp3s will play back distorted for no apperant reason). Appslib has a free app that will play .epubs so you can use your archos as a book reader. Websurfing on it using the fullsite option is also a nice added convience.

Cons: GPS! It is a dissapointment. When it works it works well enough and when it doesn't it is useless. The trouble lies in getting the Archos to recognize a valid GPS signal. Unfortunately, all conditions being the same,50% of the time it will not find a valid signal. I bought the Ndrive plugin for it only to be let down by the unreliable preformanc of the unit.

Overall Review: I use my Archos every day and it more than out performs the poopy Sansa View that it replaced.

Pros: NONE Known

Cons: Arrived 8/6/10, DOA. Unit indicates charging (light IS lit up), For 38 continuous hours! Never indicated to be charged (by blinking the charge indicator light). The Archos 5 internet Tablet STILL won't power up, SO I can't obtain products "KEY Number", so NO support from manufacturer. After much research, this seems to be a common issue with the Archos units. Newegg charged me $9.03 for the UPS label, JUST TO RETURN a DOA item!!!!!

Overall Review: I have never had to pay the return shipping for a defective product when returned within 48 hours of delivery!!! CRAZY IF you sill choose to purchase one, Re-consider WHERE you purchase this item.

Pros: Decent Gps at the time.

Cons: Kind of left in the dust by archos. no new updates, fixes take long to get out.

Overall Review: Newegg was great on the selling and shipping.

Pros: Works about as 100% as one could expect. Wifi, 32gig storage, download from the web,tons of apps as if you're really going to use it for anything other than a toy anyway when not at home. Excellent resolution for it's size, drug an unconverted avi to it(also a few converted) and it's played all my movies, converting them on it's own. Look at it for what it is, an ultra portable media and internet access device. Built solidly, have goosed my car a couple times and it slid off the dash pulling the cassette adapter cable(generic bought separately) out banging around and still works 100%. I downloaded realvnc pro trial(i have win7 core i7 on my desktop) and D/Led one of the vnc viewers and remotely controlled my desktop a lttile from downstairs lol(not recommended, it is what it is). Girl I spoke to on the phone said this would support flash in browser in a future update. Recognized my class 6 micro SDHC and copied 1gig from it in about a minute.

Cons: It's $40 dollars less now than when I bought it a few months ago. Won't charge properly if it's turned off while plugged in. I just turn it off, plug it in, it autoboots and asks if "charge only" press it, set it down, few hours later it's geen light will be flashing full charge. No generic hp laserjet4 printer driver or anything like that available. Touch screen does not support multitouch, like 2 locations pressed simultaneously, so no hardcore gaming lol. The "home" should be selectable to remove app from memory and return to home screen. Does not transform into a sizzler. No host usb adapter built in so if you want to kook up a mini keyboard/mouse you need to buy the extra battery pack or TV adapter(i didn't so don't know if a given keyboard or mouse would work)

Overall Review: Only maybe 3 out of the 30 or so apps i've D/Led from applib(there are 100's free) actually have an "exit". Use system monitor(built in) and close junk that keeps running in the background. I'm surprised skype isn't marketed widely for this because it would be ideal, also an infrared xmitter would go a long way to make it a sweet universal remote, but it's design is similar to a cell phone and left in the "ready" would require it to be charged at least every few days. Powering it off when not in use lets it run without needing a charge for a couple weeks or longer with light use.

Pros: Large extremely high quality display, sufficient storage for most users and expandable via MicroSD for the rest of us, very responsive touch screen, plenty of processing power and RAM for any normal Android usage, amazing Wireless capabilities, fantastic sound quality. Does everything you expect from a small computer, personal media player, and a high end Garmin all in one! it only does EVERYTHING!

Cons: Only Android 1.6 (Donut), requires some hacking to get Android Market the included AppLib market is very limited. Included GPS software is expensive but if you get Android Market working i highly recommend a cheaper app. Mine shipped with a single dead pixel but of course Newegg RMA was swift and the replacement is perfect.

Overall Review: I recommend this to anyone technically savvy wanting an Android Tablet but not wanting to buck up the extra $30/mo data plan for a Smartphone. After you get the Android Market installed its an extremely solid and useful device. An added bonus feature, in the event it crashes for any reason (I was responsible due to tinkering, device hasn't crashed on its own yet) it has a ROM chip with a fantastic recovery console capable of anything from a simple file system check/repair to a full reformat and reload of the firmware via USB to a working computer.

Pros: Good video quality Good Audio Quality Effective Wi-Fi GPS Support (Works with Google Maps App)

Cons: Short Battery Life Buggy version of Android No Android 2.0+ Support No Android Market Bad YouTube Support

Overall Review: All-in-all it's a fair mp3/video player that can browse the Internet. It needs a LOT of work to really be considered a proper Android internet tablet but I have to admit that at least they are going in the right direction.

Pros: This is a good product if you are going to use it as a video player. This is where is dose it best job. Video looks great works well and has good battery life.

Cons: Keyboard is to slow to respond. Updates are slow. Will lose internet connection at the drop of a hat. Crashes. Have to restart the system more then once to get it to work. Apps crash. Have to pay to play 720p. Very hard to type on. Will rotate with out you doing anything.

Overall Review: I wish I had just waited for the ipad.

Pros: It really is a nice looking item and its a great idea.

Cons: NOTHING WORKS. Alot of the apps were in French. The web always locked up and didnt work. The apps dont download. The battery life is terrible. It is slow. The user interface is aweful. It isnt compatable with a mac.

Overall Review: I am very dissapointed in this item. Archos has a great idea with this machine but nothing works the way they say it does. I didnt even have it a week and I am sending it back. This tablet is trying to be like an Apple device and it dosent even come close. I was extremly excited when I finally got it in the mail but when I really started to use it my frustration only grew. I would not recommend this to anyone...sorry.
