Great Device, especially for Dish Users.......2007-08-14

I've had my unit for about one year. It's still going strong with no technical issues or problems charging the battery. Because it's a hard drive unit, I would NOT drop it though.

This device kicks any ipods butt (making video ipods a joke) and for Dish Newtwork users, it rivals any Video unit including the Iphone as far as video options. Very few PMDs have the screen resolution of this unit either.

Those of you who have a Dish Network DVR will love this unit. All your standard definition TV recordings on your Dish DVR can be transfered to your unit 15X faster than playback time. Instead of taking an hour to record an hour show into your unit, you can tansfer an hour show to your unit in only 5 minutes or less using your USB port.

I love using my Dish DVR to record new movies from HBO/Showtime, etc. You can also record Sirius radio stations (I auto record Sirius Bests 36 for 2 hours nightly) to your Dish DVR and transfer it to your unit. That's new Sirius music mixes everyday plus your own CD collection.

To my knowledge, these units are the only PMD that connects to a DVR unit through it's USB port.

This unit is the mid-sized unit. It truly is a Pocket Dish in that it will fit in you pocket while still providing a large view screen. The larger unit offers a bigger picture, but will not fit in a pocket, making it a little less portable. The smaller size is portable, but with less view screen.

Archos AV500 30 GB Multimedia Player and DVR.......2007-04-11

A very beautiful and inteligently built mp3 and pvp. very sharp picture and colors are really great to enjoy but.........but bad and discouraging thing about it comes with a full sized remote without markings, u keep guessing which button does what function and the other thing is its disk type docking station and with that u can not stand straight your DVR on yr table or on top of yr TV or any other surface and in that case your remote wont take any command either and thirdly connecting cables for docking station to TV,VCR,DVD are so short u may need to put your docking station very close to out signals of TV,VCR,DVD or whatever to make it work and lastly battery life is 8 to 10 hours at the most and not as claimed 17 hours. If u buy it buy additional battery for sure...........I returned the item after 10 days, what will u do i wont comment.......very plus of it is quick and easy vedio or audio recording from any source.... and despite of all shortcomings I give it 4 star rating hoping that manufacturer will remove them which is very posssible to make it loveable of every one.

DON'T BUY AN ARCHOS!!!.......2007-03-18

I purchased this product as a Christmas present for my daughter. Within a month after Christmas the battery failed to charge. I contacted Archos and had to return the unit and not just the battery. I was also informed that I would probably not get the same unit back. I received a different unit that contained the previous owners recordings. This took approximately 2.5 weeks. Ten days after receiving the refurbished unit back, the hard drive failed. I contacted customer support and requested that I receive a new unit and not a refurbished one. I was informed that that was probably not possible. I find this pretty poor support for a product with a price tag as high as this. Because I am beyond the 30 day return period from Amazon I have no choice but to work with Archos. I would not recommend this product or any Archos product for that matter and would warn future customers to purchase a different brand.

I couldn't be more pleased with this item. I have downloaded several thousand songs from DVD to Computer to Archos. The process went very smoothly. The instructions in the booklet are a little lacking and it could be improved some but the product itself is excellent'

Excellent product.......2007-01-22

I bought this 2 days ago and it does everything I wanted. Record TV, playback onto TV, transfer files from my Digital cam, and rename, move, and delete files on the go, etc.. I love the fact that you can connect it to your computer as a hard drive and just drag and drop files. I hated having to sync everything on iTunes. But if you like syncing, you can with Windows Media Player. You can also "browse" your music files and go through the folders as you have them created (if you did create them) or search by Artist, Album, Genre, etc. I personally like the folders much much better.

Pictures/videos look fantastic with it's 4" screen and sound quality is great as well (I havn't yet bought great headphones to really test it). The built-in speakers are nice and clear, but fairly week, so you'll need a quiet room if you intend on using it.

I did my research and this one appeared best for it's price (you can find it for $300).

Customer Reviews:

Not a good deal!.......2004-09-18

I purchased this camera and have given it little use. The zoom on it is worthless, the flash is too intense and creates whiteout of subjects up close, the SD does not take so all you really have is 16mb internal, the software to install the drivers is worthless since it works only part of the time. i have even tried to get customer serivce from the manufacturer for the above problems and they were no help. I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS CAMERA. i thought it would be a good buy as a childs camera, but it doesn't work as the ad describes.

I still can't decide.......2004-02-05

I bought this as a replacement to my APS camera to go on a cruise with. The pictures are great with the small fact that anything moving is very fuzzy. My fraternity was in a dance competition and all the pictures of them dancing were a big blur. Maybe it is something wrong with the camera. Movie mode is excellent as the picture is very clear and the frame rate is good. Works great as a web cam as well. For $100 this is a good little camera. I hope to figure out how to fix the blurryness soon.

Drivers don't work with Windows XP Pro.......2004-01-30

I just got this camera. I was happy until trying to install and use it. Looks nice, comes with great software, but it didn't work for me at all. no updated driver onsite or support. It does look nice.

Fun little camera!.......2004-01-03

This camera takes great pictures and I enjoy using it. I still cannot believe it was so inexpensive. If you use the flash on the camera alot, it eats up the batteries pretty fast. But without the flash it lasts for quite awhile. The picture quality is great but when you zoom in at the highest level, the picture becomes fuzzy. Overall I enjoy owning this camera and it's perfect for taking pictures for fun and to email to friends.

Product Description

The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI Model 3025 is a high-performance fax modem that plugs into a PCI slot of a Windows-based computer. The Model 3025's performance is enhanced by an on-board DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and ITU V.92 / V.44 standard compatibility. The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI outperforms V.90 modems. ITU V.92 is a new standard for dialup modems. It, and its companion compression standard V.44, makes communications faster, easier and more enjoyable. The "automatic negotiation" or "handshake" at the beginning of a call can be over twice as fast with Zoom/Modem V.92 models than with V.90 modems. The new V.44 compression technology results in significantly faster Web browsing and download speeds. Upload speeds (before compression) with Zoom/Modem V.92 models can be up to 40% faster, too. As an added convenience, the Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI allows an incoming phone call to be received without losing an Internet connection. These dramatic improvements in performance are available to Zoom/Modem V.92 users whose ISP (Internet Service Provider) has upgraded to the new standard. The Zoom/Modem V.92 PCI Model 3025 is capable of receiving data from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service over standard phone lines at speeds up to 56 Kbps uncompressed. Outgoing data is transmitted at speeds up to 48 Kbps. The Zoom/Modem Model 3025 includes V.80 capability for compatibility with H.324 standard point-to-point video telephony over regular phone lines. It also supports Group 3, Class 1 Fax. The Model 3025 also features ZoomGuard. ZoomGuard provides superior protection against lightning, the number one cause of modem failure. ZoomGuard is not only better than the "varistor" protection found on other modems, but also outperforms most stand-alone surge protectors.
