Title: Archos 105
Pros: Design; price; fairly easy to use after practice; bookmarking option; drag and drop support
Cons: Average sound quality; no included software for video conversion; average battery life; poor screen
Verdict: A distinctly affordable player but very average performance and feature set reflects this. If you're eager to have video alongside your music and are on a tight budget, you'll probably be happy. If you're not fussed about video, or can stretch to a few mo
Summary: The Archos 105 is a flash-based MP3 and video player, which is available at a bargain price. It looks good -- it's slim and weightless yet still has a rugged feel. The player is easy to use and you can sort music by album, artist, song, genre and release

Title: Archos 404 camcorder (30GB)
Pros: Great design; plethora of features; top-notch photo, video and audio quality; good value
Cons: No FM radio; interface can be confusing at times; recording accessories cost extra
Verdict: The uberversatile Archos 404 camcorder is a good option for anyone looking to buy a compact portable video player with a nice screen. It's an okay convergence device, but it makes a far better video player than camcorder

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
