A friend at school recently purchased an ipod touch. They look very nice and i want somthing along the same lines as it.

I want somthing with lots of memory to play music and film. The one problem i found with the ipod touch was the price. He bought his for £200 and that was the 8gb version..

Ive been looking on the net to see archos video players for the same amount of money could be looking at 80gb! Are these archos any good? If so which ones are the best? There are so many and they all look the same to me.

My budget is £200 but would be nice to spend £150.

Any help? :D
 
i have an ipod touch, it's good for about 3 weeks and then you just kind of get bored of it, and to use at the gym like i do is a right mare!
 
I have an archos 404, and I would say either get yourself an archos 405 or one of the cowon ones, depends on what kind of screen size you want. I want an ipod touch, but they're just so expensive its stilly.
 
There is 4gb which is passable, plus SD card which can theoretically take it up to 20gb. I would recommend looking at the Iaudio 7 as well. I used to have the 6 which was HDD based and loved it. The 7 is the same but flash based up to 16gb. It is a fantastic mp3 player.

They have an 8GB D2 now. So 24GB, which should be enough for most people. And if it isn't, it isn't much of hassle switching SD cards.
 
is it possible to hook one of the archos players to a 3g modem phone to get ont he internet?....also do these things support all imap/pop3 emails?
 
Another vote for Archos here. My gf got an Archos 504 (I think) which has 40GB. For the price she paid the equivalent video ipod of the time had 8GB and an absolutely tiny screen.

No proprietary file formats or any of that BS as well. It also uses just a standard laptop harddrive so theoretically we could upgrade it to 80 or even 160GB now. I'm not sure if the original hdd has needed data on it but that would simply be a matter of connecting them both up to a computer somehow and doing a direct data copy.
