User Submitted Archos 7 320 GB Internet Media Tablet ReviewsDate: 2008-11-13 Big, but great I have the Archos 7 320 gig. The huge hard disk means I no longer have to worry if all my stuff will fit. I've never yet - it's only a month - had any problem at all with it - web surfing great, unbox works perfectly. They all work just fine. Picture is quite good and the sound level is high enough so you don't need earphones. I've even figured out a way to convert Itunes video. The wifi is neat - the other day it asked me if I wanted to upgrade my firmware - I said yes - and it did so with no connection to anything. Apparently, the battery is removable, but since I haven't seen anything from Archos about this, I haven't tried. It lasts for at least 3 movies, but it takes a while to charge it fully. The touchscreen lets you associate a click with each tap, is easy to use, simple to understand, and really works. Drawbacks - it does take fingerprints easily, but not badly enough so that it's more than a minor matter. Actually, the touchscreen really doesn't get at all smeared - unless of course you've been eating fried chicken with your hands (the only way to do it.) It's larger and heavier than any music/video player/recorder of which I know, but it fits into the inside pockets of a sports jacket, and the stand means that you don't have to hold it. It's not really portable like an Ipod or a 605, but it's not really made for that kind of portability. All-in-all a 9.5/10. Anyone who's seen it has lusted for it. Date: 2008-11-05 Exactly what I wanted, no problems in a week I have the 605 WiFi 160 for travel, and love it. But the Archos 7 is a much better size for video obviously, in situations where you have room for it. I also travel with a Kindle. I put my Archos 7 in a Kindle slipcase, it leaves 1" of space at the top where I put my earphones. Both of those fit in a small sort of manbag that I keep with me on the plane when I put my carry-on overhead. I have the 7 completely full with movies and TV shows (whole seasons) I never had time to watch, and many hundreds of MP3s. (Likewise with my Kindle, which has dozens and dozens of books). I could be stranded forever on airplanes and in airports and never run out of entertainment. I do also carry the biggest capacity external lithium battery that has a USB output (biggest Tekkeon), and both AC and DC chargers for it and the other two devices. That fits in my manbag thing too. Barely. I've been very pleased with the 7's performance, and have had no problems of any kind. I hope it stays that way, but I never had any problems with any of my previous Archos PMPs. Date: 2008-11-05 I Love This Thing I just got both the Archos 7 (320 GB) and the 5 (250 GB) and I love them both. The 5 is slightly larger than my ZUNE and the 7 is slightly smaller than a DVD case. I like having the 7 for when i travel. I no longer have to carry a dvd player and a stack of dvd's with me when I travel out of town. I love the 5 because it is easy to take to class with me. I can record my favorite shows with the dvr station, check my email and surf thge web on the go, and so much more. Both devices have worked flawlessly so far. I will update this post if that changes. Date: 2008-11-04 Archos 7 320 The unit did not work out of the box. The wifi did not work even after upgrading firmware to current version. I believe they sold units before debugged. I plan on waiting and getting once past beta. I think it will be a rocking product once working correctly. Date: 2008-11-01 Broke in less then 24hrs!!! I recieved the archos 7 on the 30th. It worked amazing loved everything about it!! the next morning after letting it charge the speaker had a loud buzzing noise!! very loud!! Called archos (after 45 minutes on hold customer support sucks BEWARE!!!) the lady told me to return it & get a new one that its a hardware problem not software. So now i get to return it & go back on amazons waiting list! So just a warning to you guys on buying this right now from amazon. If it turns out faulty you are gunna have to wait to get another one. Looks like another month, if im lucky!!!
