Archos 7 Internet Media Tablet Review (160GB)

Before we proceed further, we should mention that the Archos 7 is not a replacement model for the very popular Archos 605 player that is mainly a portable media (mp3 and video) player. While sporting many of the features of a portable media player, the new Archos 7 is also a very competent internet device.

From the looks of its features, the new Archos 7 can be considered a formidable alternative to the legendary iPod touch. One of the most noteworthy features is its huge 7" TFT touch-screen. The huge screen elevates the experience of surfing the net and viewing videos on a portable device. To top it up, the screen is actually a HD display, capable of playing videos at 720p (like those on HD LCD TVs).

Although the iPod Touch is a very impressive device, lets face it, the experience of viewing videos and surfing the net on it is similar to performing those tasks on a cell phone. For that reason, the Archos 7 plans to provide consumers with a 'true' portable media player. Another impressive feature on this new device is that it can surf the net through wi-fi and 3G (and even 3.5G) networks. This is a big step up from conventional devices of its class.

Despite its seize, the Archos 7 remains very portable, measuring at 7.5 x 0.6 x 4.3 inches in dimensions and 1.4 pounds in weight. It has a bronze/brown exterior casing that looks really stylish. The video playback on this device was very good and the touch-screen was much more responsive than the older models. At the time this article was written, the device retails from around $240 each.

Archos Content Portal

This is the video-on-demand solution for the Archos 605 WiFi, which is awesome. Archos 605 WiFi is a new product that beats the iPhone and the Nokia N800 in terms of Multimedia coolness. It's a pocket video player that downloads and streams DivX, Youtube and Google videos instantly. Check out the review at archoslounge.net

Archos 405 2 GB Portable Media Player (Silver)

Archos 405 2 GB Portable Media Player (Silver) Review

Hi!

Bought two of these for the kids along with a dual USB car charger. OK, it is far from an iPod, especially the UI and the feeling of quality. But it quickly plays all the DVDs I ripped for my kids and works nicely for long trips. If it breaks, well, 119 USD is not the end of the world. I have no time to convert all of my media for a single format device.

Support is also good. I called them about a unit I thought was bricked on delivery. I just got an error 102 "recovery mode". The nice support staff simply told me to hold the power and tv buttons down and copy the new firmware manually and everything worked. I was worried it was corrupt memory, but it was simply crappy software.

Creative Zen Vision:M 30 GB MP3 and Video Player (Black)

Creative Zen Vision:M 30 GB MP3 and Video Player (Black) Review

I bought the Zen Vision M 30Gb to show videos in class where I teach. Its functionality, price and ease of use proved to me yet again how marketing overwhelms everything in contemporary America! At well under half the price for similar devices that don't do half as much or have a quarter of the memory, this device held, converted and played all types of vids via an a/v hookup to my tv at home and the projection-style media set-up at my campus. The fact that it also has an FM radio, plays music files, stores pics and other types of data, and comes with good support software makes it far superior to things like the iPod and other devices. Yet even hard-core techies at my job have never heard of it, Creative Zen or knew that many features could be had for the price I paid. Prisoners of the marketers! No matter; their ignorance and willful adaption to advertising hype helps keep great products like this a real bargin.

Creative Zen Vision:M 30 GB MP3 and Video Player (Black) Feature

30 GB multimedia device holds tens of thousands of photos, up to 120 hours of videos, or 15,000 songs
2.5-inch, high definition LCD screen features a 320x240 resolution and hundreds of thousands of colors
Supports many video formats, such as AVI, DivX 4 and 53, XviD4, MPEG-1, -2, -SP, WMV9, and Motion-JPEG
Integrated FM radio and recorder, voice recorder
Measures 4.1 x 2.4 x 0.7 inches and weighs 5.7 ounces

Creative Zen Vision:M 30 GB MP3 and Video Player (Black) Overview

In its own right, the Creative Zen Vision:M is a very capable digital audio player, video player, photo viewer, FM radio, and more. Indeed, one could go on and on about how it has the right specifications to make it a constant companion for entertainment on the go. The really big news about this device, though, is that it's the first device to boast complete compatibility with Amazon Unbox, the new digital video and music download service from Amazon.com.

The Zen Vision:M has the features, ease-of-use, and power to become your constant media companion. See the Vison:M interactive demo.

Design
Let's get things out in the open. The Apple iPod is the 800-pound gorilla when it comes to the digital media player business and, unavoidably, every other device is measured against it. In most respects, the Vision:M matches up pretty well, and there are few things you may even like better. Length and width dimensions are exactly the same at 4.1 and 2.4 inches respectively. When it comes to girth, though, the iPod has the Vision:M beat; the Vision:M is .7 inches thick, while the iPod measures .4 inches. The Vision:M is slightly heavier, too. These details aside, the Vision:M feels comfortable, yet sturdy, in the hand, with curved surfaces in all the right places.

Creative takes a somewhat different approach with the Vision:M's controls, answering the iPod's Click Wheel with a vertical touch pad--which allows you to scroll up and down menus and control volume--plus four buttons that offer navigation through the user interface. The contextual menu button on the bottom right is a welcome addition, allowing you to make quick settings changes and view information about media files on the fly--functions that are more cumbersome on an iPod. Creative could have made the buttons a bit more sensitive--they require a firm press that gives an overall feeling of clunkiness to an otherwise well-designed user interface. Another annoyance is the touch pad's over-sensitivity; it's easy to make selections unintentionally, sending you on a wild ride through the user interface.

The Vision:M's screen, which measures 2.5 inches diagonally, offers sharp details, vibrant color, and excellent response with little or no video ghosting during high-action sequences. The 320 x 240 resolution is to be expected from a device this size, and although it's small, you'll likely have no trouble enjoying video while you're sitting on the subway or a flight, or in the back-seat of a car. Our only nitpick was the screen's less than stellar viewing angle, especially when compared side-by-side with a video iPod. While this can be good for maintaining privacy, the narrow viewing angle also means that friends beside you will struggle to see anything other than a black screen.

Music, Videos, Photos, and More
The Vision:M's music organization scheme is standard fare; you can browse playlists, artists, tracks, albums, and genres. Equalizer settings are robust, with a nice range of automatic settings, plus a custom equalizer that's easy to control. The music library's "DJ" function is a nice touch, allowing you to listen to your most popular tracks. It can also pull up the tunes you listen to least frequently--in case you've got some forgotten tunes lying around on the Vision:M's 30 GB hard drive. Sound quality is everything you'd expect from a top shelf digital audio player, and DRM'd Windows Media files played without a hitch. The device fully supports a whole range of "PlaysForSure" download and subscription services, such as Napster and Yahoo Music. Creative also ships a CD-ripping and music transfer application called MediaSource with the Vision:M.

Playback of Windows Media DRM'd video files (WMV9) was also hassle-free. Purchased videos delivered crisp colors and detail, with no frame drops. Video playback consumes a lot of power, bringing Creative's claim of four hours of video playback into serious doubt. Expect under three hours when watching videos continuously. Thankfully, if you need to come back to your video later the Vision:M's software remembers the timecode of where you left off--unless you power the device down between viewing sessions. In addition to protected and unprotected WMV files, the Vision:M can play MPEG 1/2/4, Motion-JPEG, DivX 4 and 5, and XviD formats, making it a very flexible device with respect to encoding options.

The Vision:M can also store thousands of photos, letting you browse through them or set up a slideshow. The device's TV-out option comes in handy here, as you can present slideshows on a TV or projector. Videos can be displayed this way, too. An FM radio with easy preset tuning functions and great signal reception, plus a voice recorder feature, round out the extra media features. There's also a handy application on the Vision:M that formats a portion of the drive for use as USB 2.0 mass storage, letting you set aside up to 16 GB for data storage.

Connectivity and Synchronization
A Creative Sync Adapter ships in the box with the Vision:M, making it a snap to connect the device to a USB 2.0-capable PC. With the connection made, Windows XP recognized the device right off the bat and Windows Media Player immediately asked us if we wanted to load the PC's music onto the Vision:M. Music management and synchronization has come a long way on the PC, and the experience of organizing and transferring music to and from the Vision:M was, barring a few curious click-through boxes, pretty seamless. The Vision:M also supports synchronization of your Outlook contacts, calendar, and tasks, in case you want to use it as a personal organizer of sorts.

Amazon Unbox Integration
To be truly successful, the Vision:M has to be more than a great media device, it has to integrate with Amazon Unbox and make the process feel like second nature. Although the Vision:M was tested using a beta version of Amazon Unbox, things are looking good already. Amazon Unbox and the Vision:M go together like peas in a pod, making the process of purchasing, downloading, and enjoying content on the go a real cinch. The Amazon Unbox Video Player, which queues, downloads, organizes, and plays your purchased movies and TV shows, recognized the Vision:M right off the bat. An icon for the Vision:M appears in the devices panel of the application, and you can immediately begin transferring downloaded content to the device. Once you're all loaded up, the Vision:M offers a great way to bring Amazon Unbox entertainment along for the ride.

Pros

Crisp, vibrant color screen is great for video
Generous video format compatibility
Excellent sound quality and music management functions

Cons

Narrow screen viewing angle may be a problem for some
Finicky controls for some functions
Slightly more bulky than other competitors

What's in the Box
Creative ZEN Vision:M, earphones, Sync Adapter, USB 2.0 cable, pouch, user's guide, and installation CD that includes Creative MediaSource and Creative Media Explorer software. Note: As of July 2006 Creative no longer ships the Zen M with the AC power adapter.

Creative Zen Vision:M 30 GB MP3 and Video Player (Black) Specifications

The Zen Vision:M MP3 and Video Player lets you take all your movies, music and photos in a light, pocket-sized device that is loaded with 30 GB of memory. At this capacity you can carry tens of thousands of photos, 120 hours of movies (500 Kbps MPEG4-SP), or up to 15,000 songs (WMA encoded at 64 Kbps), all in the palm of your hand.

Zen Vision:M supports many video formats, such as AVI, DivX 4 and 53, XviD4, MPEG-1, -2, -SP, WMV9, and Motion-JPEG, which simply means you have more choices and less restrictions. Instead of busting out your wallet to show snapshots of your kids, you can enlist the Zen Vision:M to give viewers a glimpse of your precious memories--tens of thousands of them. In 262,144 vivid colors and 320x240 resolution, complete with a thumbnail gallery, this device makes it easy to scroll through your entire photo collection. Of course, music files are a big portion of anyone's digital canvas. Perfect for taking with you on the road or just around the house, this device makes all your music sound as good as the Zen Vision:M looks. And with eight preset EQ settings and 97 dB signal-to-noise ratio, you can fine-tune your listening experience for any musical genre.

You can also connect the Zen Vision:M to a projector or TV with the included AV cable, and put on a big show from this little device. Synchronize music files with photo or video montages for a taste of spectacular, personalized big screen magic. Viewing images on this device is a pleasant experience. The 2.5-inch, high definition LCD screen features a 320x240 resolution and hundreds of thousands of colors. What this means is you see crisp, clear detail in every movie and photo, even under bright light.

Creative didn't scrimp on design, either. The Zen Vision:M features an ergonomic design with an innovative touch pad control that enables quick, comfortable access to menus and settings. And you'll get loads more playback time with the built-in rechargeable, battery. Enjoy up to 13 hours of music or 4.5 hours of movies on a single charge. The optional extended-life battery pack lets you double playback time, so you can enjoy days of uninterrupted entertainment. Other features include a personal organizer that you sync with Microsoft Outlook, and an integrated voice recorder that can store hundreds of hours worth of recordings. Take a closer look at all the Zen Vision:M features.

The Zen Vision:M MP3 and Video Player uses PlaysForSure technology. Look for the PlaysForSure logo if you're shopping for a portable music or video device and you want to make sure the digital music and video you purchase will play back on it every time. Match the PlaysForSure logo on a large selection of leading devices and online music stores. If you see the logo, you'll know your digital music will play for sure. Choose from a large number of digital music and video stores, including MTV's Urge, Rhapsody, Yahoo!, MSN Music, MusicMatch, MusicNow, Napster, Wal-Mart Music Downloads, and many more.

What's in the Box
Creative Zen Vision:M, earphones, sync adapter, USB 2.0 adapter, pouch, user's guide, and installation CD. Note: As of July 2006 Creative no longer ships the Zen M with the AC power adapter.

MP3 Players - A Simple Buyer's Guide For the Not So Technologically Savvy

In a world filled with MP3 Players, Portable Media Players and music downloads, there are a few of us who are still somewhat confused about how to buy a MP 3 player. With so much information out there it's hard to get past all of the fancy, high tech jargon to make a decision on which one is best for your needs and by the end of your search, you're even more confused than before you started. Well here's a "straight to the point, quick and dirty" lesson on how to buy an MP3 player.

MP3 PLAYER VS PORTABLE MEDIA PLAYER

A MP3 Player is a portable digital device that plays and stores music and audio books. A Portable Media Player (PMP) plays and stores audio and video. The name MP3 Player is used as a generic term to describe all portable devices. Although PMPs can play audio not all MP3 Players can play video. For example, the iPod Shuffle, Creative Labs Zen Stone and SanDisk Sansa Clip are MP3 Players and do not have the capability to play video.

BRANDS

For those of you who were not aware, Apple iPod is not the only brand of MP3 Players on the market. There are several other brands of MP3 Players for you to choose depending on your needs and most importantly, your budget. They are the Archos, Coby, Cowon, Creative Labs, iRiver, Philips, Samsung, SanDisk, Sony, Toshiba and Zune (Microsoft).

TYPE

MP3 Players are classified according to how they store digital data. The most common are HARD DRIVE BASED PLAYERS and FLASH MEMORY BASED PLAYERS. The Hard Drive Based MP3 Players have the highest capacity and are larger and heavier than the Flash Memory Based MP3 Players. An example of a HARD DRIVE BASED PLAYER would be the iPod Classic 80 GB, iPod Classic 120 GB, iPod Classic 160 GB, Zune 120 GB, the Archos 80 GB 605 Wi-Fi PMP, Archos 160 GB 605 Wi-Fi PMP and the Creative Labs Zen Vision:M 30 GB MP3 and Video Player. A drawback to the HARD DRIVE BASED PLAYERS is that it has moving parts that can easily malfunction if it is exposed to high temperatures or dropped. The Flash Memory Based MP3 Players are light weight and smaller than the Hard Drive Based MP3 Players. This type of MP3 Player has no moving parts and will have longer audio playback with a storage capacity ranging from 120 to 8000 songs. An example of Flash Memory Based MP3 Players is the Apple iPod Touch, Apple iPod Nano or Creative Labs Zen PMP. A drawback of the Flash Memory Based MP3 Player is that it is more expensive than the Hard Drive Based Players even if the storage capacity is less.

CHOOSING A MP3 PLAYER OR PMP

Now that you're armed with the basic information you have to determine which type is best for you. Your personal needs and budget will help you to narrow down your choice.

Decide the type. - Hard Drive vs Flash Memory. When deciding the type keep in mind what you're using it for. For example, if you're going to use it while jogging, then the hard drive based player will not be a good choice because of the size, weight and high chance it will malfunction if it's dropped.

Decide the storage capacity. - When deciding the storage capacity also keep in mind whether you also want to play video and audio (PMP) or just audio (MP3 Player). MP3 Players can come in various storage capacities which can vary by brand. The iRiver brands features a 20 GB MP3 Player. The Archos has a PMP that has 60 GB capacity. Whether you're looking for 1 GB to 160 GB there is a brand and model to suit your needs.

Decide the features. - Determining features is based on personal preference. Some MP3 Players/PMP have several features that may include voice recorders, calendar syncing, FM radio, wireless capability, photo storage or recording TV like a DVR player. For these particular features you may want to consider the Archos brand of PMPs. Another popular feature is color. If you're into pink then you can get a pink mp3 player. Your options are endless it just depends on your personal needs and how much you're willing to spend.

Decide how much you're willing to spend. - The more features you desire the more you'll spend on a MP3 Player. If you're just looking to play music and you're not concerned about the fancy features then you can find a MP3 player for under $50. For example, the SanDisk Sansa m250 2GB can be purchased for less that $35. If you're looking for at least 4GB then iPod Nano or Creative Labs Zen Mosaic would be a good choice. Or, if price isn't a concern and you want the "Cadillac" MP3 Player with all the bells and whistles then consider the Archos 705 Wi-Fi PMP 160 GB. After considering the type, capacity, features and your budget check out each of the above mentioned brands to compare features and price. Also, if you're on a tight budget and still want fun features consider a refurbished MP3 Player. Now you're informed and ready to buy and enjoy your new MP3 Player! Good Luck!

Archos 605 Wi-Fi Portable Media Player (160 GB)

Archos 605 Wi-Fi Portable Media Player (160 GB) Review

I've owned my archos for about 5 months now and ithas lived up to what it was made for. Wifi works great, I enjoy having both the touch screen and the side buttons, video quality is outstanding. The main reason I bought the 605 was to listen to music, but getting the web browser/internet radio and tv plug-ins really improved the device. The sound quality is above par but not outstanding. It's much better with the proper equalizer settings (very nice touch) and good quality headphones. The versatility is great, you can have it be an MTP device when connecting to your computer, or just be read as an external hard drive. I like that it is linux-based but it isn't truly open source. I like that it plays flash games (somewhat slowly I might add) and that the Opera browser has nice widgets that work pretty well, but if it was open source then it would truly be a huge step up from the itouch. The stylus that comes with it is overall a good stylus but there's nowhere to put it. It is useful when surfing the web but I don't want to have to take it with me in the hopes that I'll get into a wifi hot spot. Since the device does have a touch screen, I was hoping that the interface would be a little more touchscreen friendly. It works well, but it could be a lot better by making the folders bigger and therefor easier to access via touchscreen. I haven't been able to experiment a lot with the browser (I just set up wifi in my home yesterday) but I can tell that my overall experience with the 605 will be enhanced. One of my favorite things at the moment about this device is the internet radio. It is well supported and has superb stations. I would recommend this product to anyone as an alternative to the itouch...but not for 0. I got mine at a really great price (around 0 I think) and it is well worth it but Amazon seems to have bumped up the price to 0, which isn't worth it (I don't think any mp3 player is worth 0 honestly). Overall, great product and highly recommended.
