Reviews of the Archos 405 (2GB)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Archos 405 offers a big, beautiful, glare-free screen, above-average audio quality, SD Flash memory expansion, and Mac/PC compatibility, at a very attractive price.
The Bad: The Archos 405 has only 2GB of built-in memory; battery life is just average; and the lack of a kickstand or built-in speaker is disappointing for a PVP.
The Bottom Line: As the Archos 605 WiFi's little sib, the Archos 405 holds its own as one of the best portable video players for under $200.
