Comment: Cowons Q5W was hampered by having Windows CE lurking in the background, the Archos 605 Wi-Fi made rather heavy weather of web navigation, the Archos 705 was just very, very heavy and while the iPod Touch is good, that 3.5in screen is just a little o...

Comment: Mobilität: etwas schwerEinmal aufgeladen, können Sie knapp 5 Stunden Videos am Stück sehen – ein guter Wert für ein portables Gerät. Spielen Sie nur Musik ab, hält der Akku etwa 23 Stunden ohne Nachladen durch. Mit einem Gewicht von 305 Gramm liegt der...
Comment: Rent pladsmæssigt er der ingen tvivl om, at testens stormester er lige her. Med 60 GB (de fås op til 250 GB) burde der være plads til både musik og film til mange timers underholdning. Også når det gælder skærmen er Archos 5 med helt fremme i bussen. ...
