Been thinking of getting an Archos 605 but just been on the Archos site and seen the new Archos 5 and 7.


The 5 has a 4.8 inch screen as opposed to the 4.3 inch screen on the 605 and is virtually the same size.


Anyone know of any reviews or more info etc???

We're just about to upload a big story over in our News section  - we went to the recent launch, but the info was embargoed until today.... Oh, and we've got kit in, too - will be reviewed very shortly.

Re: Archos 5

Been looking at the specs for the new '5' and '7' and it seems to me that Archos have shot themselves in the foot with the '5'.


 The 'old' 605 had a video battery life of about 5.5 hours and a lot of reviewers complained that it was too short the new '5' is only 4 hours which is really bad!


 Why didn't they make it a removeable battery like the '7' at least you could carry a couple of spare batteries to get you through that 9 hour flight to Vegas.
