1.The good: The Archos 5 Internet Tablet / portable media player offers a large, high resolution touch screen, Wi-Fi, music playback, photos, video and compatibility with Flash, Bluetooth, email, Web browser, a speaker, an integrated kickstand, GPS and support for a limited selection of Android applications.
2.The bad: GPS signal reception is poor enough to make the utility function, many of the popular Android apps are not compatible, Flash video support is hit or miss, there is no support for keyboard and multitouch gestures, copying and pasting text is a task, and the brilliant design shows fingerprints.
3.The bottom line: The Archos 5 is an excellent video player, but disappoints as a premium Android Internet Tablet and GPS unit.
On paper, the touch-screen Archos 5 Internet tablet comes across as an Apple iPod Touch on steroids. Each specification is designed for over-the-top, the video playback 720p high-definition 4.8-inch screen, integrated GPS, Bluetooth and FM transmitter. The capacities offered are also beyond belief, from a $ 249 8GB model with a slender body and microSD slot, all the way to a thick, hard disk based on 500 GB version will sell for $ 489.
4.Design
This is not the first time for the Archos 5. In 2008, an almost identical version of Archos 5 hit store shelves, the device shares many features of this 2009 model, however, lacked support for Android applications. The complaints we had with the 2008 model design still stand: the issue is a magnet for stains, the headphone jack is located right where you hold the device and the reflective screen is a step backwards from the end mateused in the beloved WiFi 605.
There is much to appreciate the design and the Archos 5 improvements in the latest models. For example, we love the kickstand integrated metal depends on the back - a bright feature, especially for watching video content length. The dimensions also make us happy, with the diluent 8GB, 16GB, 32GB models and 5.5 inches wide, 3 inches tall, and a relatively svelte 0.4 inches thick (hard drive models have twice as thick). In real world terms, this means that the Archos 5 is small enough to fit on the front or the back pocket of his jeans.
5.Hardware Features
The Archos 5 is packed with many features, to make sense of all, let out in separate sections of hardware, the reproduction of the media, and Android. The most notable hardware features of the Archos 5 will include Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth, but less features such as an FM radio / transmitter, microphone, speaker, and accelerometer, are also noteworthy.
If you are going to call their product an "Internet Tablet", you can not skimp on Wi-Fi.Fortunately, the Archos 5 juggling 802.11 b / g / n Wi-Fi bands with ease and handles hot-spot in the login page with a skill worthy of its name. Advanced users also have the ability to tie the Archos 5 with their cell phones, allowing the device to take advantage of a cellular data connection. In practice, however, the creation of immobilization phone includes a complicated dance of access point names and transportation Bluetooth pairing is not for the faint of heart.
