Re: ITOUCH vs ARCHOS

Well the iTouch is more exspensive as it's flash based where as the vast majority of Archos's product range is built around a HDD.

With Apple bringing out a 32GB touch you can fit a lot more on them now, but because it's solid state flash storage be ready to pay through your nose for it though - around £330 in most places.

One thing to take note of though, the Archos 605 wifi (both 40GB and 80GB) require a 'plug-in' only available from Archos to enable web browsing over a wlan connection which will set you back around £30.

The iTouch however doesn't have this problem, providing you have the latest version of iTunes, some choons to fill it, then you've got 8 - 16 or 32Gb of fun!

Hope this helps people,

Dazza

Good idea but you'll be paying heaps for it. I have a 16GB touch - but bought it just as they came out; kind of wishing I had known about the 32GB and I would have waited lol.

Re: ITOUCH vs ARCHOS

Even 2GB on an iPod is sufficient for storing 24 hours of continuous music.
So on a 60GB one you could store a month worth of music, far more than the battery lasts...

So why waste money on the bigger versions, buy the cheapest one you can get and spend the leftover money on accessoiries like a carrying case, better headphones, maybe some external speakers.
