I am trying to decide whether to buy the archos 5 or the Ipod touch or a small computer...
The money is no barrier, but I want it for movies, music and internet and I need it to fit in my purse or large pocket...I need to know the pros and cons and which one I'll get my money's worth on...thanks! :)

    archos 5 internet media

    Get a Pandora handheld,

    it’s basically a touchscreen computer with gaming controls that fits in your pocket

    It’s great for music, movies, internet, games and it has great battery life

    its 360$ + shipping

    archos 5 gen

    there is a review at cnet.com which I find very helpful:

    I pod touch:

    pro: accesorries dont cost as much (incl: apps)

    con: battery life too short, cannot replace battery, hard disk space not good enough. Sell the name not the product itself, not extremely good video quality, music quality not as good, no kick stand, screen too small, lifetime too short, gps requires internet not satlite (BAD)

    archos 5:

    pro: screen 5 inch, battery has a decent life, find more internet providers, better music and video qualities. e xcellent hard drive, kick stand for hands free video watching, slim compared to features

    con: finger print smudge, accessories and extra features cost waaaay too much.

    hope this helps
