Archos AV500 100 GB Multimedia Player and DVR Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Note: I have only had the player for a week. This is a first impressions report.
Overall: the Archos AV500 100 gb player is pretty impressive. It is a good size, the screen is bright, and the built-in interface is easy to navigate. It feels small and heavy at first. Built-in speaker is tinny but adequate for its size. 100 gb is a lot of space! It is a little heavier than the AV500 30 gb model, but I don't have one for direct comparison.
Functions tried:
(1) Links to Windows XP computer via USB 2.0 without a problem, can use as Device Player with Windows Media Player 10 (auto-sync libraries, etc), or can set to Hard Drive Mode and drag and drop files. USB 2.0 is fast.
(2) Transfer DVDs: Lots of stuff on the internet about doing this for Archos devices, but this is still complicated and some technical savvy is required. There is some built-in software that I didn't bother with.
The easiest (and legal) way is to just record direct from your DVD player; however, not the best quality by report and any Macrovision protection is preserved (can only view on LCD screen, not video out). I actually have not tried this yet, though.
If you have DVD's without copyright protection, one of the better (and free) programs (in my opinion) at this point is Auto Gordion Knot (or AutoGK for short) to convert these to the DIVX format. This works well; however, conversion is processor-intensive (5 hours on my 3000+ Athlon XP for 2 hour video). The picture is pretty good, some minor compression artifacting. There is a large community working on DIVX codecs. I used the XVID codec, which the AV500 is compatible with (even the Windows Media Player 10 didn't think so and refused to transfer without conversion).
(3) Listening to music was easy. Dragged and dropped a bunch of MP3's, worked well. Nice loud volume.
(4) Slideshow for pictures work well. JPEG and BMP only. Can't listen to music while looking at pictures, though.
Functions haven't tried yet:
(1) Camera record - can hook up lipstick camera (separate accessory) directly to AV500 and record.
(2) Direct file transfer from camera. (Has separate mini USB port and cable to hook into camera)
Drawbacks:
(1) Probably a little fragile - handle with care. Lots of people have reported issues with the previous AV400 models. Basically, this is a very fancy hard drive with a screen. In fact, if you take the battery off, you can see the hard drive sitting in there.
Running with it, or any activity with lots of vibration/shaking will likely cause early hard drive failure. It would be like running with your laptop. You might get away with it for a while, but those hard drives can't take a lot of jolting.
I can see mashing the small buttons could result in problems. This is not a ruggedized portable by any means. Even thought the case feels solid, the buttons are cheap-feeling and flimsy. My bet is that the buttons would be the first component to break on this device.
(2) Video transfer is still complicated. Could try Windows Media Player 10 for automagic conversion, but I like to have more control over settings. Video must be DIVX in specific format. This is not a Video Ipod. It takes some savvy.
(3) Note before you buy the file types it supports. Won't do AAC, Ogg or other music formats.
(4) Comes with a disc shaped connector hub for AV in/out connections, but no travel AV in/out. That is a separate accessory. So, if you want to see your video on a separate TV, bring the big hub, or spring for a separate set of travel connectors.
(5) Inadequate carrying case provided. I am already looking for a better carrying case.

Sharp Mobilon TriPad PV-6000 Handheld PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall, this is an excellent product for people who don't need a full price, full weight notebook while travelling, but rather something with which to take basic notes, do scheduling and e-mail and simple web browsing, and also, especially, reading books downloaded from the web. Pluses are the very usable keyboard, the amazing battery life, and the screen, which while not great for graphics, is fine for text. The feature which allows you to fold the screen down over the keyboard, and use it as a tablet, is fantastic. Download a book, and set the browser at the largest font, hold the machine as a tablet, and you can comfortably read for hours, just like reading a book (although the machine, while light, is heaviest on top, which is a little awkward). For twice the cost of the RocketBook, you get just as good a screen, and word processing, scheduling and internet capacity to boot. Of course, this is too large and heavy to function as a real handheld. And there are the frustrating limits of all Windows CE machines, especially a Word program which is not just stripped down, but castrated (no page numbers, search function or footnotes). The process of connecting to desktop PCs is easy, but slower than it needs to be. But overall, this is a great little machine.

HP Tablet PC TC1100 1.0 P-M / 40G / 256MB / 10.4" TFT / WLAN / WXPT (PL579UA#ABA) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought one of these last year and absolutely love it. I have an online business, so it's perfect to take with when I am away from home. Since it's a full fledged computer, it kicks ipads you know what.
It's never given me a problem. WiFi works every time, never had trouble connecting anywhere there was a hot spot. It has everything I need, WiFi, USB, Network outlet, SD card slot, ect.
One thing that some people might not like it that is is not touch screen, you need the pen for input, when your not using the keyboard. Personally I prefer the pen, that way my fingers or hands won't be getting in the way.
The keyboard attaches and detaches very easily, though it's a little on the compact side. Might not be the best for some one that types alot.
I purchased it to read ebooks and watch videos, but it does so much more. I can do anything I need to when I'm away from my main computer.
The only con I can think of, is that it's a little heavier than I'd like. Not that bad, but would be nice if it was lighter.
Worth every penny I paid, never regretted buying it.

viliv N5 Series - 32GB SSD, 1.33GHz Intel Atom CPU, Windows 7 Starter Handheld MID/UMPC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am extremely impressed with the build quality, size and the screen. The reviews I read before purchasing mentioned that the build quality was great, but I had no idea that it would be such a rock solid device.
I've owned small computers, netbooks and even a Vaio UX 390N UMPC, but the clamshell design of the Viliv N5 makes it look like an eyeglass case, so I can slip it in and out of my pocket or just carry it by hand and it doesn't look like I'm carrying a computer around. I really feel comfortable taking this with me to any restaurant, gym or wherever and it doesn't seem awkward to have a computer with me. I'm a web developer and occasionally things happen while I'm away from the office that I need to attend to, so I used to carry my laptop with me all the time, but the straw that broke the camel's back, so-to-speak, was when I carried my laptop around Key West for a whole day and I couldn't enjoy my trip there because my back was hurting the entire time. Now, I can just slip the Viliv N5 into the pocket don't even have to think about it.
Battery life so far has been decent. 4 hours is the norm with the screen on full brightness, but I don't see reason I couldn't get 6 hours by lowering the screen brightness and turning off wifi.
The features I love about the Viliv N5 are:
- Small size (it's only an inch longer than my HTC Evo 4G phone)
- full keyboard (the keyboard is a little tricky to type on, but you can touch type if you have small fingers). I usually find it easiest to hold the N5 with both hands and thumb type.
- the thumbpad is amazing - it's very easy to move the mouse pointer around the screen - in some ways it is better than a mousepad
- the screen is bright and crisp - even though the text is small, I can see everything clearly.
- it's a full Windows 7 computer so I can install all of the programs that I use regularly with no limitations
- I thought the 32GB SSD wouldn't have enough available space left over with Windows 7 installed, but it came with 13GB free out of the box, which is more than enough for me
- Wakes up in 5 seconds from sleep
The things that are minor annoyances are:
- Boots quickly from a cold boot, but sometimes the screen doesn't come on after waking up from sleep, so I have to turn it off and back on again to get the screen to come on. This is a minor annoyance because it only happens occasionally.
- Windows 7 starter edition is really limited. I knew Windows 7 starter was a stripped down version, but I didn't realize how stripped down. Starter Edition doesn't even allow you to change your desktop background! What the? By default it will show a nice Windows background with a Windows logo, but other than that you can only change it to solid colors (black, etc). This isn't a major issue, but it sucks that I can't use a unique photo as my background image.
- Bluetooth dial up networking doesn't work consistently. I probably should blame this on Windows 7 starter too. Let me first say that I have no problems with tethering the Viliv N5 to my HTC Evo using a USB cable and then using PDANet to connect the Viliv N5 to the internet, so that's working great. However, if I want to avoid the USB cable and use Bluetooth DUN instead, I can't do it - I've only been able to get bluetooth DUN working once and it only stayed connected for a minute or two. I have no idea what's causing this, but I've never had this issue with any other computer, so it's either something with the Bluetooth drivers or it's Windows 7 starter. Either way, I'm disappointed that this isn't working because it was an important feature to me. (I can pair the Viliv N5 with my phone without any trouble; it's only the DUN that isn't working). Kind of makes me wish I'd purchased the 3G version, but I'm sure I'll eventually get this working, even if I have to upgrade to a different version of Windows 7.
- I use a Lexmark 1420 network printer and have not had any problems installing drivers for it on any other computer. However, the Viliv N5 will not recognize the printer, will not fully install the drivers, will not print a test page from my printer. Maybe there's something unique about this particular printer that Windows 7 Starter doesn't like, but whatever the issue it's definitely an annoyance that I can't get network printing working.
With all of this said, the Viliv N5 is the best UMPC I've experienced. I've been shopping for UMPCs since the first OQO was announced, so I've been in the market for something like this for the last 10 years. It's amazing to me that someone has finally created a near-perfect UMPC with all of the features I've wanted even when the trend seems to be heading to tablets, etc., there is definitely a need for a product like this.
I believe the only weak-link with the N5 is Windows 7 Starter, but this could be remedied by installing Home or Professional edition, so I'm not taking any points away from the N5 because of this.
I was on the fence about getting this for awhile; I truly thought it would be a novelty and something I would only use occasionally, but I've been carrying the N5 with me everywhere and even using it in different rooms around the house because it doesn't ever get in the way. It's definitely a computer you can take anywhere.

Because the viliv N5 is a full-powered PC, you won't have the limitations of other mobile devices. Use the N5 to surf the web-as-you-know it: including Flash, HTML5, and all the rest of the rich web. Install anything you like. Pocket it, and go anywhere. The viliv N5 features a superfine 4.8" WSVGA touchscreen, 32GB SSD and an Intel Atom 1.33GHz CPU. From a pocket PC standpoint, the N5 has a surreal (for its size) battery life of 6 hours of actual use. Along with an instant-on feature that allows you to resume Windows 7 from sleep in under five seconds--and remarkable 150-hour standby time--the N5 is unique in being a truly ultraportable device that delivers the full rich web experience. Rich web is complemented by rich media. The N5 supports 720p HD video playback, HTML 5, Adobe® Flash, and features integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.

Archos 43 - 16 GB Internet Tablet (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a video demo and testing of the Archos 43 - 16 GB Internet Tablet. Overall, I am very happy with its improvements over the Archos 5 IT. I have also changed the rating to a 5 stars after updating the OS to Android 2.2 with the Adobe Flash 10 player installed. This gadget rocks !
12/21/10 update
- I have been using this gadget on a daily basis since my original post for checking emails and surfing the web for news in the morning while still lying lazy on my bed. So far so good and it has replaced my iPhone for such use as it is lighter and has a wider display for full web-site surfing. The only issue I have is the short battery life which I have to circumvent by disabling the Wifi when not in use.
Overall feel and handling
The unit is extremely light and fits easily in a shirt pocket. It is much more portable than the Archos 5 IT and even the i-Phone. The single-touch resistive screen works quite nice also. I also noticed that the camera has a small clear plaster cover on it which should be removed for better recording.
OS and applications
12/01/10 Update
- Updated OS to Android 2.2 ! This gadget is a lot more stable and works faster after the update. We would need to reinstall the latest Google Marketplace app from the Archos fans site as the previous version does not work with Android 2.2. The Adobe Flash 10 player would also needed to be installed (from the Google Market place) in order to view flash videos from the websites.
Archos 5 used to have an application called Thinkfree office installed which allowed us to view PDF, excel, and word document. I am not able to find this same application on the Archos 43. However, this application and the Adobe viewer could be downloaded from the Google Markletplace. Do some research on the Archosfans website and you would be able to get the instructions on installing the Marketplace app.
Video and display
The display is very nice and sharp. In the demo video, I also showed a side-by-side comparison between an i-Phone and the Archos 43. The display area for the Archos 43 is 32% larger than an iPhone. Whereas the Archos 5 IT has a 65% larger display area over the iPhone with its 4.8" screen. Even though the display area is not much larger than the iPhone, the viewing experience is notably different. The video camera recording is of average quality. It does OK in well lighted area but the video is pretty grainy under poor lighting conditions. I also found some issues with the Amazon's Kindle viewer. The right side text was chopped off by the menu bar.
Sound
The external speaker is much better than the Archos 5 IT and produced much more sound in comparison.
WiFi and internet connection
There are major improvements in the Wifi connection as I experienced no trouble connecting the WiFi to my home wireless network. This was the most annoying problem I had with the Archos 5 IT.
Batteries
Charge time is much better than the Archos 5 IT. Took about 2-3 hours for a full charge. It lasts for about 2-3 hours of constant uses. If we leave the Wifi on, it seems to drain the battery charge rather rapidly. I did another benchmark testing by playing only video with the external speaker at 50% volume. It ran for a good 6-7 hours on a full charge.
It uses a standard micro-USB cable for connection to the PC.
Overall, I am quite pleased with this gadget particularly its light weight and larger screen size than my iPhone.

Lenovo ThinkPad X41 Tablet 1866 - Pentium M 758 / 1.5 GHz LV - Centrino - RAM 512 MB - HDD 60 GB - GMA 900 - Gigabit Ethernet - WLAN : 802.11b/g - TPM - Win XP Tablet PC 2005 - 12.1" TFT 1024 x 768 ( XGA ) - black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I sold my T41 with XSVGA for this. I wanted something I could also use to read/research on train, or cafe. This laptop does it well. And the screen re-orients whenever you move it from tablet to laptop configuration, and visa versa. However, it's still a bit slow (like most tablets). I think Lenovo has done as good a job as possible, but the technology still has a way to go. Weight, speed, integration of apps, all must be improved for these to become killer machines.
I knew the machine will be limiting when I bought it. But for me, the ability to read in tablet form is very important. I don't like the aesthetic experience of reading on computers.
I'm left-handed. Which means the handwriting recognition is not so good for me. For a right-handed friend of mine, the handwriting recognition works great. (for me, it's either frustrating or humorous, depending on my mood).
In general, the microsoft software and help files specific to tablets are dated and obviously not a high priority at Microsoft. If it was, you'd have better left-hand support. Also, there are few tablet-specific apps bundled with machine. The few that are, are third party trial-ware.
In conclusion, if you want a tablet to read/research, surf the net, and also use as a laptop for basic business chores, this is as nice a tablet as I think you'll find. But if you expect this to be the tablet that fulfills the promise of tablet-PCs, then no, I don't think we're there yet. And the price is also too high if what you mostly want is a laptop.

Archos 70 - 8 GB Internet Tablet (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this device for 6 days and I've been very pleased with all aspects of it. I did a lot of research before buying and it has met all of my expectations. Best for those who already have some experience with the Android operating system.
Here is what I like:
It makes an excellent e-reader. I can use books from Barnes and Noble, Borders, Amazon, Google and my local library. It is a great PDF document reader and works great for comics as well.
It is very good internet browser. Flash capability isn't perfect yet, but having it in even a limited capacity opens up a lot more of the internet. I've been an iPod Touch/iPhone user for several years and I really like this device. The internet experience is superior.
Google integration. If you use Gmail and google apps, Android offers better capabilities than iOS devices. (Note, this does require a hack, but it is very easy to do).
Expandability. MicroSD, HDMI, USB. Archos doesn't control what I can and cannot do with this device.
Video playback. Excellent playback of local, network and internet video.
Form factor. I've played with an iPad and it's a fun device, but I like the size/weight of this device a lot better. It is more practical and easy to take with me. Much easier to hold for long periods of time when reading.
Battery life. Not iPad levels, but still very good.
What I don't like:
Future ability to upgrade. By only putting in 256MB of RAM, they have limited the ability of this device to Android 2.2, which means I will probably want the 2011 version, instead of upgrading this one. (I think they planned this)
Hacking is necessary. Because of limitations that Google puts on Android currently, it is necessary to hack the device to access it's full potential. This will ultimately damage the ability of new/inexperienced users to enjoy their Archos tablets.
Overall, I love this device and if you have used Android or if you are willing to do some research on websites like archosfans.com, you will love it as well!
