A Great Media Player!

I bought my AV380 a few months ago (on 6-15-2004). I expected it to be a good gadget but it is not good, it is great!This gadget is everything you'll ever need to store all the information you have. From music, photos, videos, and all kinds of data; it is the best Media Player I could ever find. You can vew your videos or photos right on the screen or use the cables that come with the unit to watch them on any television (with video and audio inputs). You can listen to all of your music, record...

Great Gadget, but Archos Customer service is the worst ...

At first I was impressed with my AV380, but then I realized my battery life was defective - approximately 90 minutes on a full charge. My AV380 is still under warranty, and Archos doesn't return my emails, and doesn't even have a telephone support line, so I'm at a loss how to get help!!I can not reach anyone at Archos, and my warranty is running out.Before buying mine, my friend had warned me, and I had read reviews before that Archos customer support is known for being the worst in the business...

Much easier than dragging all those DVDs around

This thing is exactly what I was looking for to take on long trips.First, it replaced a portable DVD player and the need to take all my movies on DVD disks with me.Next, it replaced an electronic film vault as I can load JPEGs in from my CF cards, and the screen is much better to share photos with friends.And the size and weight of the AV380 compared to lugging around a laptop is pure joy!I was concerned that movies would be "jerky" or "pixilated", but nothing could be further from the truth.Maybe...

Archos AV380 80 GB Personal Video & MP3 Jukebox Player / Rec

The archos AV300 series is a portable computer in addition to an awesome personal video player. All you need to do is install windows to a partition you make on the hard drive and you can run your computer from anywhere where there is a USB connection and a monitor. The simplicity and speed of the file transfer method is un-matched unless you need to install an upgraded USB hub. All you do is drag and drop. Immediately upon plugging in the Archos to a computer it recognises it as a USB mass storage...

Terrific, but why buy half a computer?

Given the popularity of HD-based AV devices recently, it was only a matter of time before Archos would deliver the ultimate in AV player toys.Archos has long led the way in MP3 jukeboxes, and being one of the first to mate an LCD to a hard drive enclosure instantly made them a star.Buy this if you need 80Gb of storage and want to watch four movies while flying to Hong Kong or Australia, and then listen to 200 albums in your hotel.The add-on camera is just an amazing bit of grafting, and this device...
