Review Summary The well-appointed Archos AV500 puts wide-screen video in your pocket, but we're still waiting for a point-and-click way to get video into the device. The Archos 5 boasts an improved screen size, image resolution, and sound quality over its predecessor, but its Web browser and Flash media playback are disappointing for a product marketed on the strength of its Internet media capabilities. The Archos 5 is a great video player, but it disappoints as a premium Android Internet tablet and GPS unit. Proof positive that bigger isn't always better, the Archos AV700 fails to make the most of its wide-screen LCD. The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.
