Great portable entertainment.......2007-09-20

We have had our 2 Archos 500's for exactly 1 year and they have been heavily used and loved in our house. Perfect for traveling, going out to restaurants - we actually get to eat our dinner because of these pocket miracles!

I have been so impressed with how durable the units are. Our kids are age 6, 4 and 2 and as you can guess these poor units have been handeled with sticky hands and dropped countless times, and the units kept on ticking. Wouldn't you know it that it would be me (the adult) who would drop and break one of the pocket dishes. Since the unit was just shy of a year old it was still under warrenty. I called the customer service number on the Archos website and get this - A LIVE PERSON ANSWERED THE PHONE AFTER 3 RINGS! No press 1,2 or 3, just a real nice person who quickly helped me and emailed me my RA number. My unit is being repaired now, but we are still enjoying our other pocket dish when we go out to eat, in the car or plane.

If you have Dish Network it is so easy to hook up to your DVR and download onto the unit. We do not use the external speaker, but it works great with a headphone splitter so multiple people can watch and hear.

Got kids....Got a Dish Network DVR? This is the perfect traveling accessory! Amazingly super sturdy and extremely friendly customer service. Bravo Archos!

Super fine .......2007-07-13

I got one for my daughter about 10 months ago for photo storage while traveling. It worked just great until 2 days before she had to fly to Italy. Photo download is almost automatic if using a flash card reader and a mini-USB plug. I ended up getting an Archos 604 wifi for her trip ( a really neat unit but everything is extra- no built-in mini-USBs, no A/V jacks, no AC charger, but a trippy touchscreen and 30GB is a LOT of room= about 1000 photos + 400 songs + 12 movies, and still less than 1/3 full), while sending the AV500 in for warranty repair. The AV500 had a squashed 100GB drive from a swollen THICK battery- stay away from these batteries. ONLY Archos can replace the hard drives- has to do with HDD/firmware serial numbers. I just got it back after 2 weeks and the drive was replaced with a 120GB drive, but the right button worked intermittently (I opened it up and cleaned the contacts on the circuit (film) board = now OK. DO NOT do this if you have any warranty left- send it in. There are plenty of horror stories about warranty work quality, but they did right by me- this time! Video quality is perfect for me- great contrast, good resolution for my dvdfa3 480x272 vob-avi converted files. Audio playback/volume is outstanding (for me). The one tiny speaker is a joke.I haven't tried any video camera recording, so can't say yea or nay. I like it! It's a little bit thicker than the new Archos stuff, but you get everything in one small box!

why not having a fm tuner on this product.......2006-11-10

I PURCHASED THIS PVR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO , SO FAR I HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH IT, MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS WHY NOT THIS PVR NOT HAVING A FM TUNER ON IT, \\\? IT IS WELL MADE, AND I AM HAPPY WITH IT, THE BATTERY LIFE IS GOOD TOO, I LISTED TO MY SONGS FOR ABOUT 4 HOURS AND STILL HAD ABOUT HALF JUICE LEFT IN IT. GOOD LUCK, BUY IT , AND ENJOY IT.WELL, I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED BATTERY FOR IT SO IT IS ABOUT TWICE HAS LIFE IN IT.

almost perfect.......2006-11-10

Just like one of the previous user/buyer mentioned, it looked complicated but was really an excellent device once you get to figure out how it really works...my only problem now is how to record tv shows directly to this device and I would have given it a 5 stars then...I have to add that customer service did a good job when I needed assistance too...

Save your Money.......2006-10-01

If you are looking for a DVR that you can use with your Home AV system and take on the road, save your money and do not buy this device. The menuing system is HORRIBLE. Why they invented button icons instead of using standard conventions is beyond me. There should be one SELECT button, but there are several, depending upon which menu you are in. Just changing the sound from headphones to internal speaker is difficult. The internal speaker is OFF when it looks like it is on, and ON when it looks like it is off. You must also keep movie file size around 1gb or the playback will only show up to that point! Hooking it up to a home system works, but can be tricky depending upon the number of inputs you have on your home theater system. It is a cool device, but the drawbacks make it not worth the price. I'm a total techie, and this device stays in a drawer because it is just too difficult to work the device.

Good battery for the price.......2005-12-20

After only 11 months my wifes Nokia 6010 battery wouldn't hold a charge for more than 1 day. I was thinking of just replacing the phone due to the normal cost of replacement batteries. That was until I saw this battery and the offered price. This is a very good deal and so far the battery has been working well. Now she can go 4-5 days without a recharge.

Product Description

The New Media Parallel Port Film Reader rests on your desk and is comparable to a removable disk drive, treating the CompactFlash and SmartMedia card like a diskette. Drag and drop files from your digital storage media to your hard drive and you even can transfer files from your hard drive back to the digital storage media. The New Media Parallel Port Film Reader simply connects to your Parallel port with a printer pass through cable keeping your printer online and accessible. Take the CompactFlash or SmartMedia card from your camera and insert it into the New Media Parallel Port Film Reader and copy your favorite pictures onto your computer in seconds. Data transfer speeds are at least 20 times faster than standard serial port connectivity. The most important aspect is that since the camera does not have to connect to the computer for downloads, it saves battery power on your notebook computer!

Not for Macs.......2000-05-20

If you have a Mac, please note this unit is not compatible. Either I missed something or it was not made entirely clear, but look for something else for the Mac.

Product Description

With i snap, Olympus presents, for the very first time, an inexpensive Advanced Photo System model that has been specially conceived for young people between 10 and 16 years of age. The fun design and ease of use are sure to fascinate - whoever i snaps is certain of having a great time. i snap is the Olympus camera for the most important events in a teen's life: the first love, the first big party (when the "old folks" aren't at home), the best friends. The camera fits into just about any trouser or jacket pocket. Its off-beat design and cool, attention grabbing color-scheme in blue, green or pink gives extra appeal. And what's more, pocket money is enough to own an i snap.

Amazon.com Product Description

Available in three colors--Kosmic Kiwi (lime green), Rocket Ruby (pinkish) and Sonic Sky (powder blue)--the Olympus i Snap APS camera is stylish, lightweight, and compact. It comes with a high-quality fixed-focus 24mm Olympus lens and automatic flash with red-eye reduction. Designed with the youth market in mind, this kit includes fun accessories like a see-through camera strap, a see-through camera case with a hook so you can hang it from a belt or bag, and an inflatable 3.5 x 5-inch picture frame that promises not to shatter. The complete package also includes a CR2 battery, APS film, and photo tips booklet. Because the camera uses the Advanced Photo System (APS), you just drop the film in and shoot--no loading, no worries. You can even have your film developed in three different print format sizes: classic 4 x 6-inch, HDTV 4 x 7-inch, and panoramic 4 x 11.5-inch.

Customer Reviews:

Perfect for taking just 4" x 6" pictures..........2005-03-24

I recommend for those who like using APS cameras to first try the one-time use verisons before buying this one. I have used two one-time use Kodak Advantix cameras, 35 mm single use, Poloraid instant camera, and 28 mm or 110 Kodak Cameo Camera. But I seem to like having more options and this is what came up. However, the Olympus i Snap APS camera doesn't have the Panamoric view, nor the Print H type available...just the Print C type available and that is 4" x 6" print type available on this camera. I remember paying alot to have a few panamoric prints being processed and that didn't come cheap. So, if you want three Print types available, then buy a used Kodak Advantix Camera instead of this one. Also, I think the resulting prints depends on what brand name film cartidge you use, the lighting, and how the exposed film is temporaily stored before it is taken in to be processed.

Stylish but bad pictures.......2003-04-22

I think that this is a terrible camera. Even though it is very stylish, it takes bad pictures. Even if you have bright lighting the pictures look dark. I would not suggest buying this camera.

Hip and Stylish Camera.......2001-08-22

Even at the age of 12, I think this camera would be great for kids, because its easy to reload film into and it's not hard to work with. I think it's a pretty cool camera, because there is color to it instead of the plain old normal gray and black. You don't have to worry about you're kids breaking a hundred dollar camera the first time they you use it. I would give this product a five star rating.

Customer Reviews:

High Quality Card.......2001-09-13

I purchased this card after going through several downloads of my 8mg card for my DC3400. This has been an excellent card that has given me no problems!

It's even taken a spill or two and it's still working without any glitches. If you need quality and durability with high quality downloads then this card is for you!

Not Worth the Price Premium.......2001-03-21

This card works fine, but here is the bitter truth.

The core of all the cards (known in technical terms as the "controller") are made by only a few DRAM manufacturers. Those handful of DRAM manufacturers then sell the "controllers" to the major flash card manufacturers (i.e. SanDisk, Kodak, Olympus, and Viking). The flash card manufacturers then simply throw some plastic casings on the controllers, slap on a label, and ship the cards. As long as the flash card manufacturer is reputable, has a good warranty, and has been around for over 5 years; you will be just fine.

What I am trying to get at? I simply want to make it clear that you should not buy a card based solely on the fact it is made by Kodak. Check the pricing against the other major manufacturers (i.e. SanDisk, Viking, etc.) and then make your decision.

More Memory.......2001-01-05

I have a Kodak DC3400. It only has 8MB memory so I could only take about 11 pictures. Now I can take about 40. It is great!
