Nokia n800 vs Archos 605 wifi
 

Archos 605 wifi can do pretty much everything n800 can do and it has 160gb memory and it can play dvd rips at high frame rates.....


Here are the specs..

Any thoughts???

At 250 - 300 euro's that's a nice bargain. Has optional 160 Gb hardisk.
Knowing Archos, the whole thing will be more end-user ready than the N800. But I wonder how good or bad the Internet experience is. We can't really tell before we tried one on for size...

But it looks promising

This was discuss before... They sell each "Plug-in" indvidually for this device...

Is a rip off!

Whoa! You can say that again!

20 euros for each codec plugin? Now that'll add up quickly...

And instead of buying a 8gb sdhc card for the n800 we can buy those plugins.......

Looks like nokia has a real good competitor this time....

Nokia will have to get its act right for the n900/n???

But ill buy it anyway

Also this device has a encrypted hard drive specifically to prevent you running software you choose on it.

Apparently this can be cracked.

But do you really want to buy hardware from a company that thinks that way.

Fine we don't want to give you new software for free. But if someone else writes better software then us. Well we don't want you to try that. You might not buy ours. Once you own the hardware it should be yours to do as you wish. If you break it your problem.

It seems funny that we will penalize M$ for that (and should) if we had done so when they were a little company like this we may have more choice now.

You made me laugh... I bet you love DRM, RIAA and worship Bill Gates.
This is no competition to N800 or what ever comes in the future.... there is no way in the world that buying a plugin can be better than buying a SD card....

The Archos doesn't have Bluetooth, so it can't be used as a mobile browser using 3G.

The N800 has got / will have a better browser based on Mozilla firefox. The development version is already good, and it will get better.

I bought the N800 because I wanted a FULL mobile browser. If you want a mobile video player get the archos.
