Review for Archos 405 2GB Portable Media Player 3.5" Screen:
My impression of the sound quality is excellent. The sound is 'warmer' than an Ipod nano (which I own I am not an Ipod hater!).
The video performance whilst not as good as the Archos 605 is still very good and near DVD quality. I have now watched a couple of full length movies with no eyesight problems!
Although the flash memory is small at 2GB it is very cheaply upgradeable and I have currently a 4GB SD card installed.
I would agree with other reviewers buying the plug-ins is a pain but it is a well known issue on the internet, at least customers have the option. The docking unit is also really needed to utilise the PMP to the full and again is not cheap.
After purchase of the dock the the benefit of the unit becomes very clear and missed programmes from the TV can be recorded and watched anywhere!

Nice PMP
I have owned 3 Archos PMP units now and bought this one due to its attractive price and really portable size with flash memory.My impression of the sound quality is excellent. The sound is 'warmer' than an Ipod nano (which I own I am not an Ipod hater!).

Review for August 3.5" Mini Handheld Freeview TV with Card Reader & USB Playing Video/Music/Photo in the Palm of Your Hand - Reviewed & Recommended by Which ? Magazine:
As I live in an area where the signal is not very strong, the fixed telescope aerial does not function. It however works in Enfield very well. Another downside is that the built-in speaker is not loud enough in day time if used in a pub although it is about all right if used in my office.
All in all, I love it, especially for the price I have paid.

I love it ...
I bought this Freeview TV media player after seeing it on the T3 website and did a search on Google. I did not expect too much but just wanted to find out what this small TV can do. It surprised me with the picture quality and features as a media player. The picture is much clearer than I could imagine when there is signal and the picture for video playback is also very good, it can also slideshow while viewing pictures, very clearly.As I live in an area where the signal is not very strong, the fixed telescope aerial does not function.

Review for Ellion HMR-350H High Definition Media Recorder/Player With VFD Display & Jog Button:
Ellion HM3 - 350H
Used many media recorders, but found this one very easy to set-up and easy to install a HD. All the connection on the back you could ever require and well built. Simple front and a bit big on the outer box cannot hear the fan when used for sometime which is a great bonus. Overall not back for the money and make sure you used a fast HD. Good all round Media Player/Recorder.51

Review for Orbit Portable DVD Player with TV, Freeview, USB, and Game (300+ Games):
Good value for money
Bought this just before a 2 week car trip across Europe with 3 small children. Was a life saver. Easy to charge. Plays multiregional dvds. Place for multiple earplugs. Games are basic, sort of 80s style. Delivery was fast. Happy with product. No problems so far. Did not come with bag, which we ordered separately.53

Review for Archos DVR Travel Adapter - Record video on to Archos on the move For 404/504/604:
It is basically a moulded plug that will connect to the underside of your Archos 4 gen. I have a 404 camcorder and it allows me to playback home movies/record last nights sky. It has the input for a charger power supply so that your archos doesn't run out (but not the transformer). I bought the cheap PC adaptor ( called the docking adaptor) as well as this not only gives easy PC interface but also a power supply that you can use on this device (as the USB on the PC will charge you archos when connected to the PC). This will then all you the store the original interface lead that you get with your archos for when your around other PCs. I use this kit all the time and it is very good, if only it contained the 5V power supply it would be 5/5.
You can also charge using a 5V multi terminal charger from any electrical shop if you don't want the PC lead.
If you find issues with playing your PC films on your archos try the free program"pocketdivxencoder" which will convert your AVI files into simpler formats specifically for the Archos (all types).

Review for Ministry of Sound DR011 Personal DAB Tuner:
Simply the best! (well I've only tried this one)
Well done ministry of sound! An excellent product, but more than that, its the kind of device that can actually make a significant positive effect on the quality of your life. If you are new to DAB as I am, you will be immediately struck by the clarity and range of sound - aided by the well designed ear phones. The number of stations (so long as you can get a signal) opens you up to more of what you really want to listen to (check out Planet Rock!!). If you are new to DAB it might be worth checking out local reception with someone else already 'illuminated' by this new alternative. Break up of sound can occur, but that is due only to local reception issues, and has nothing to do with the radio itself. My experience suggests use on the train can lead to frustrating blackouts of the signal, but if you buy this radio you are likely to be so impressed by it, that you will adapt yourself to it..... rather than visa versa. With some fiddling I've managed to get the ear phones to provide a solid base frequency (but that is not to say everyone will feel as comfortable with them as I do). The radio comes with 3 handy rubbery covers which fit perfectly and make the whole outfit feel 'solid'. The switches are sound, but the backlight times out rather quickly, not so good in darkened conditions!! Also it seems rather battery hungry when compared to me old Boots personal FM/AM radio. And i'm eternally grateful to that for its years of good company. If you are thinking about buying this MoS radio - do it! You are very likely to remember that day for years to come!59
