Title: Archos 105
Pros: The Archos 105 MP3 player is one of the least expensive video-worthy MP3 players on the market.
Cons: The Archos 105 only comes in a 2GB capacity and lacks competitive features such as an FM tuner, voice recorder, or line recorder. Despite its relatively large screen, the video resolution is disappointing.
Summary: There are better MP3 players than the Archos 105 available at this price, but few with so large a screen.

Title: Archos 605 personal music player - First Look
Pros: Screen, Wi-Fi, interface
Cons: Not much so far
Verdict: There are still plenty of questions left unanswered, but from what we've seen so far, it all looks very promising
Summary: - Archos has updated its Personal Music Player (PMP) with Wi-Fi, a touch screen and lots more, but is this the ultimate PMP application? Pocket-lint managed to get a brief play with the new device ahead of its launch in the UK later in the year.

Title: Archos 405
Pros: Sound quality; price; build; drag-and-drop support in Windows; expandability; SD slot
Cons: Average screen; many expandable elements require costly plugins; no kickstand
Verdict: The Archos 405 is an attractive and affordable portable media player for those on a budget. It offers good sound quality and supports high-quality video, but the screen isn't anywhere near as good as it could be. If you can't afford the Archos 605, this m
Summary: Archos owns this price range of portable devices. For a little less than the 8GB version of the latest iPod nano, the 405 offers a large colour screen, great sound quality, support for high-resolution video and expandability options. All of these features

Title: Archos 105 Flash-Based MP3 Player
Pros: Very inexpensive
Cons: Kludgy menu system, Only plays WMV video
Verdict: The 105 does many things, but none of them really well. I'd recommend this player only for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money for a device to multitask with music, videos, and photos. The Archos 105 would be a good first player for a careles
Summary: Compact video-enabled player is a jack-of-all-trades but master of none.
