I have seen people carry around a bb or pre or android or nokia in left pocket. And in right pocket they carry iPod touch , hilarious to think their smartphone can't fully replace an iPod. ]]>Oct 15th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/

Do you have something else in life useful to say ? Did the iPhone finally gave meaning to your empty life and now you adore him like a holy cow in an Indian Field?

From my circle of friends no one has an iPhone and only has has an iPod Touch he found in our campus bathroom.

So, NO, each of the 304,059,724 souls that live in the US don't own an iSomething less the 6,706,993,152 that live in the world. ]]>Oct 15th 2009 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/Oct 15th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/Oct 15th 2009 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/

Anyway, I used to like Archos until they started delaying plugin/codec launches and eventually started caring less about their primary function which is to provided PMPs and moved towards Internet tablets and nettops (or was it laptops...?).. and what not...]]>Oct 15th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/Oct 15th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/Oct 15th 2009 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/

Its because they are FREE

Try:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm

No reason Archos could not include this codec pack in its software...

I would never buy an Archos because of this very reason.]]>Oct 15th 2009 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/Oct 15th 2009 1:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/Oct 15th 2009 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/Oct 15th 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/new-archos-5-with-android-unboxed-meets-its-chubby-predecessor/
The specs are fantastic. Too bad Archos sucks as a company. They want customers to act like beta testers for rushed to market products.

I believe there's also licensing involved so really it's not the same as codecs you download for your PC.

Also, codec packs are from hell... if you need a codec, find it and install it.]]>Oct 16th 2009 2:40PM
