The overall impression of the device is very good. It is high-quality and the service works without manual study intuitive and well.
I use the Gera as an archive for all my music and audio books. There seems very appropriate. Operation by touch screen has compared to the pre-unit also improved significantly.
The bemämgelte of a slow user database update I can not understand. Obviously there was a software update - the internal database update goes -in contrary-rapidly and significantly accelerates to 500 generation.
But what I regurgitates something: Is my old Archos 500 even comes with a super-large equipment and accessories package (bag, remote control, headphones, USB cable, AV cable, USB host cable, stand, charger, TV dock) and already in the housing with abundant interfaces (Lasebuchse, Mini-USB, USB Host, AV, headphones, built-in microphone) was equipped, the Archos 5 is therefore almost naked. Particularly disturbing, I feel that there is no mini-USB port is included on the housing, which is nevertheless now become almost standard. Instead, as is einiziges cable with a special cable, which allows you to connect the Archos 5 to a large USB port and load it and fill. In addition to the special contact strip there are only still has a 3.5mm jack - that's it! No mini-USB!
There are neither a bag nor a charger or cables when. Only one lobules and a headset can be found in the packaging. That's very lean!
Meaning, it is almost no way around buying a dockable extension (eg Battery dock with spare battery, charger and charger jacks for 2x USB and AV) and a pocket and various software plug-ins.
I also hope that the screen content can be modified (still have not figured out whether and if so, how). Since many menu items and links are draufgepackt to content that require free activation - for example you click on a main menu item and there is always a window with a link to purchase the appropriate plugins. It's annoying and I'd like to remove this menu item.
All in all I think it is a really good unit. Only the accessories and equipment policy verhageln the good overall impression.
