Oh, and for all those who have heard bad things about Archos, you should try one. I like them so much better than iPods and most of of my friends that see it end up wishing they had one. The sound quality is just as good as, if not better than any other mp3 player I've used (sound coming through headphones that is, built in speaker is awful).

Oh, and does anyone know if Gen 5 series is backwards compatible with Gen 4 DVR station?

Anyways, I want one...]]>Aug 31st 2007 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/Aug 31st 2007 10:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/Aug 31st 2007 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/]]>Aug 31st 2007 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/Aug 31st 2007 11:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/Sep 1st 2007 2:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/Sep 1st 2007 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/archos-605-and-405-go-on-sale-in-the-us/

As an mp3 the only thing is that an archos does not have the battery life of an ipod granted, but it plays them better than an ipod, and the interface is compatible with the play 4 sure contents just drag and drop music, and you can browse them close to windows explorer or with the integrated archos library(which i prefer the browser since it's more familiar to looking for a song in a computer, instead of clicking six times just to play a song with an ipod, i don't have one but my two roomates do)you can actually zoom in on pictures rather than just look at a mini version, modify the background a bit(if it matters) colors, and even if the 504 is a bit bulky it still fits in my pocket.

That's just my experience with all archos players, 160gb is an insane amount of space for an mp3/movie player, and the max ipod offers is 80, albeit you can play some addictive games on an ipod I personally don't like them, and my experience from archos is that they were the first company to introduce video playing capibilities in their music players the same time ipods came out it's kind of hey, they've comed a long way touch screen was integrated with the pma430 back in 2004, but it never appealed to me because of the hard drive size it came with(30gb is not sufficient for me), I really can't compare it to an iphone, or the new Ipod "phatty". I know they are laptops and dvd players, but trust me I've been deployed with archos video players in Iraq, right now i'm over here, and I probably have the only archos in the base i'm at, it's like 1% archos 99%ipod, and i know some of my buddies have bought close to 4 personal ones because some either breaks or they just loose it, it really depends, the screen is durable and doesn't scrath that easy and it really does keep me from losing my mind, but that's just me, it boils down't to personal preference, mine is just watching movies so my first choice was to look for a portable movie player.
