The original font that Engadget used was much easier to read. Please for the love of God go back to that font!

I also agree the new layout is also very difficult to read. There is just too much redundancy on the page. There is just no need to have both the top stories and the persistent tabs of old big stories.

On top of all this, massive graphics doesn't help either.

I hope Engadget realizes this is meant as constructive criticism and actually does something about it.

Second that!...a few min at Best buy made me want it, but not enough to get it without through review]]>Nov 29th 2009 12:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/
It's awesome BUT it does take a while to start up. About a quarter of the time of a blackberry. Sometimes an app will crash @ random requiring a reboot, but that only happened to me 3 times in the two months owning it. Now that I think about it, after the firmware update it didn't do it at all. Just be warned that some codecs have to be purchased as they did not include them to cut down on the cost of the unit for people who may not be utilizing it for other video sources. The browser is awesome, the open source factor is always nice, and the device has a lot of potential. If you are looking for a device that is 100% frustration free though, this is not it.]]>Nov 29th 2009 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/
In theory you never actually need to reboot the device, as it resumes from standby in 1 second. So in theory people would only need to do the full 40 second bootup once every time the firmware is updated (once every 1-2 weeks, if you want to update it every time), or when the internal battery happened to be completely flat at one point.

But in practice, Android is a complicated thing and Archos can still sometimes crash or lock up and need a reboot. I don't think it is bad or makes it unusable, at least not for my use. It is often to do with what apps you install and how many Android apps you have running in the background and that take up all the RAM memory. Though I think this device has more RAM than any other Android device.]]>Nov 29th 2009 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/Nov 28th 2009 11:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/Nov 28th 2009 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/Nov 29th 2009 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/Nov 29th 2009 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/28/archos-5-gets-android-market-gmail-and-maps-for-that-google-ble/
Hasn't crashed once since the last firmware update. Still takes forever to boot from a full power off though.

Capacitative does not exist in 4.8" size with 800x480 resolution at affordable price and in good enough quality.

I don't agree at all with Paul's little smart comment at the end of his post.
