Duration of ownership:
Strengths: Large screen size, nice LCD, playback for a wide range of video formats, touch screen
Weaknesses:Cheap headphones, USB charging only, plug-ins cost extra
Overall Evaluation: I purchased the Archos 605 Wi-Fi Portable Media Player mainly for watching video on long flights (I do a lot of traveling). I choose this over the iTouch as the screen is much, much larger - 800x480 vs. 480x320. It's also a 4.3 versus a 3.5. It's much thicker and heavier than the iTouch but I think the trade-off is worth it for the larger LCD. Another big selling point, was the price. I purchased my Archos 605 30GB from Amazon for $225.97 (the price has since gone up). The 32BG iTouch is $499 which is double the price of the Archos. In hindsight, I do wish that I bought the 160GB version as I've had to remove movies and tv shows to make room for new ones. As for the device itself, it works great as a compact video player and photo viewer. I still prefer my iPod for playing MP3s but the Archos can do this as well, just not as nicely as the iPod does. I haven't used the WiFi features as you have to pay extra for the Web browser plug-in. This doesn't bother me much as I didn't purchase this device for that purpose.

Review:
Archos 605 WiFi
Wireless connectivity and a gorgeous touch screen make the Archos 605 WiFi a great video-viewing handheld.
For watching video on the go, the Archos 605 WiFi media player offers a near-perfect combination of usability and portability. The 4.6-inch, 800-by-400-pixel wide-screen LCD is just the right size for close-up viewing on a train or plane, yet it slips easily into your bag or coat pocket. The touch screen makes it a cinch to operate, and wireless connectivity lets you easily stock up with media.
