A Must Have for Archos 605 WiFi 160GB [Posted on 2008-05-29]
I was very impressed with my purchase of an Archos 605 WiFi until the Cowon QW5 arrived. The Cowon boasts a 7 hour battery and direct to TV port with USB 2.0 Host adapter. Guess what? With this addition to my Archos 605 I not only have all the fore mentioned features, but a 160GB Hard Drive instead of suffering with the Cowon 60GB. Also about $180.00 less than the Cowon, including the $40.00 for this item.
Great Addtion To a Great Product! [Posted on 2008-06-16]
Been an owner of a 650WiFi now for at least six months now, and take it pretty much everywhere I go. It allows me to take my pictures, music and videos with me. And now this little gem allows me to share my media with friends even more via TV connectors (standard RCA connectors you know, yellow (video), red (audio right), white(audio left).
The output of the Archos to the TV is great, displays and plays everything on your Archos to the TV. And while it plays, it charges your battery on your Archos and itself (since its an external battery to the 605 Wifi).
Now yes it is awkward when holding it since the dock is not streamlined to the Archos, and your Archos cases will not accommodate it. This is good for traveling long distances, and if you want to display your Archos goods to a large crowd.
I highly recommend getting this for your Archos its worth it.
Don't have an Archos yet? Still trapped in iPod land?... get an Archos
you'll be much happier!
Not too impressed [Posted on 2008-07-26]
Archos battery supposed to assist in (my understanding when I purchased it),
1. Make the Archos player's battery last longer
2. Gives ability to power from the wall charger
3. Gives rapid charge capability (compared to USB charging)
4. Additional capabilities (e.g. TV out, USB Host...and such)
Works but very flimsy and flaky. Poorly made (feels like home made) and most importantly, not sure it even works. Did not meet any of my test after purchasing it. Only reason to keep it is because I have no other choice in getting a USB host beside this little flaky add-on. :(
The Battery Docking System works fine, but the main Archos doesn't. [Posted on 2008-08-04]
The battery docking system works fine, there's nothing more to talk about it. But if you are buying this together with a new Archos PMP unit, I suggest you to buy something else.
I bought a Archos PMP over a month ago. The PMP crashed on the 2nd day, and I had to reset it and reload the firmware. It lost all of my music, video files I had put in it. After getting help from Archos fun forum, I fixed problem, and I learned that the "system error" happens to a lot of people.
Now my PMP is working, but everytime after I turn the power completely off and turn it back on, the white "system error" screen comes back. Luckily, after I press "no" to "system repair, reset" 4 times, the unit starts running fine. I have lost my files two more times since then.
The Archos is really cool WHEN it works, and it is packed with gadgets and function. You should get it only if you know enough about the computer and electronics so you can fix it when it crashes.
