4 of 5 archos Tuesday, June 17, 2008
A Customer from NY  

The device is great. I own av700. I upgraded to 705 because archos will not sell upgrades to play h.264 on the av700. The screen resolution on 705 is great. Better than the creative w. On this the av700 is king. I have not tried to see anything with deep black colors on 705. I believe there is some distortion with deep black colors with most portable vid players. The sound on the audio jack has something to be desired(I use a cassette adapter to a tape player)On this the av700 is better. Probably will not play anything well with sound below 128bits. The speakers are good...louder than av700. The web features are good. The pages load pretty fast on wifi. The is one of the few portable devices that is able to play flash. It will play youtube vids. When the video plays the 705 on the web page overtakes the entire 7' screen. Whatelse .. with the plugin this device plays vob. As far as I know this is the only portable device with this capability...The startup for this is device is about 39 seconds from a complete hard drive shutdown or 4 seconds from suspendtion mode. U must use a style stick for everything. no eternal buttons to fast forward or rewind...lastly 705 will play xvid divx jpeg pdf mp3. for the h264,vob and web features you have to buy the plugins. I had no need to call the service center so I cant comment on that.
