Archos 605 WIFI vs. Apple Ipod classic 120gb

Apr 9, 2009 4:08AM PDT

Hey everybody,

I've got a question for you:

Archos has got an commercial: the archos 605wifi with free archos 105 (2gb)(the last one i'm not gonna use, but just in case...) for 250 euros.
Apple has the Ipod classic, which i like very much, the 120 gb for 220 euros.
I am gonna buy the docking station, and i think i want to watch more videos than listen music, and i am asking you the question: which one should i choose?
Because, - the ipod is newer, bigger, smaller, and has a good screen. - the archos has a great screen, docking station, and touch screen.

Thanks in advance,


Christiaan van der Meer

For video, the Archos, no contest.

I agree. I have both and the Archos is the go-to device for video. The iPod is great for a 30 second clip or similar. . . but your eyes will sue for separate maintenance if you try to watch a full length movie on it!

Good luck!
