Rockbox mail archiveSubject: Archos v. IpodsArchos v. Ipods
From: James Michaloutsos <jmicha_at_hotmail.com>
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2006 09:20:32 -0500 With what's available out there today regarding mp3 and video players/recorders why would people even consider an Archos product given the size of Ipods? I'm not putting down Archos. I own AJR 20. Purchased it soon after it first came out. Used it primarily to transfer and backup files. Since then though I transferred music / cds onto it and left it connected to my PC at home. But taking it to the gym has been nothing but a problem. The vibrations on the treadmill caused it to skip; being constantly connected to an ac power supply at home caused the factory installed batteries to fail. And it’s not convenient to hold, certainly when running on a treadmill. You can not slip it in a pocket. And the latest Archos video player is at least $100 more than the 60GB Ipod video player. So why Archos? I really want to buy Archos, but I need some good reasons for it. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
