 A fun gadget October 15, 2008
I saw this Archo105 [under forty bucks] on Amazon and bought it for fun. It is smaller than a credit card, very thin and weighs nothing. Put it in your shirt pocket and you'll forget it's there.
The sound is great. The video player is not so great but watchable. The interface is sorta clunky, but easy to use. It does have shuffle.
No removable battery/no sd card slot/no external lock(hold) button.
Archos105 interfaces with Windows media player 10, which will sync and easily convert many file types including AVI to mp3 or wmv. It will not convert mp4 files.(I don't know about Mac interface.) Since this player will only play mp3 and wmv files, other files will need to be converted to play in the windows media player v10.
I am surprised how much video this 2gb player holds. When converted to wmv files, a 250mb avi file shrinks to about 57 megabytes. I have a whole season of The Simpsons on my player with lots of room to spare.
For the money it is a good deal and I'm happy with this player. Shop by price and compare features on other players.
Archos is known for great screens, but not in this case.
A far better item is a Meizu player which has more EQ options and a much bigger and better screen and is just as small.
Not a bad player October 14, 2008
The only beef I have with it is that the video quality is sub-par, but, for the money, it's a great deal.
 Fun music/video player September 21, 2008
I have a 160gb Ipod Classic. It has everything on it and I love it, but it's bulky. I saw this Archo105 deeply discounted on Amazon and bought it for fun. It is smaller than a credit card, very thin and weighs nothing. Put it in your shirt pocket and you'll forget it's there.
The sound is great and the video player is fairly good too-not great but definately watchable. If you love gadgets, this is a good one. It's not sexy like a Nano Ipod: the interface is sorta clunky, not pretty. It does have shuffle.
The player looks/feels kinda cheap. No removable battery/no sd card slot/no external lock(hold)button.
Ipod Interfaces with iTunes, Archos105 interfaces with Windows media player 10 (boo,hiss), which will sync and easily convert many file types including AVI to mp3 or wmv. It will not convert mp4 files.(I don't know about Mac interface.) Since this player will only play mp3 and wmv files, other files will need to be converted to play in the windows media player v10.
I am surprised how much video this 2gb player holds. When converted to wmv files, a 250mb avi file shrinks to about 57 megabytes. I have a whole season of The Simpsons on my player with lots of room to spare.
I love my new gadget: the music sounds great and the screen is big enough to watch and pretty good quality too. It's no Nano, but it's tiny and fun and far cheaper!

Archos 105 - AWESOME!!! September 20, 2008
I love this device! Others have complained about the lack of FM radio (which I don't listen to) and the need for more space (which would be nice, but is not a huge problem.) The thing I like is the size, and the battery life... as well as the fact that it charges off the USB connection to my laptop. This thing just fits my lifestyle!
Highly recommended... especially if you catch it on sale (as I did!) Also, Gizmos4Life shipped it quickly and in great shape... I highly recommend them as well!
