The new archos 5 is the most stylish of the company's media devices. It looks great, comes loaded with features, and performs well. But several flaws hold it back from being the outstanding player it could be. The device is controlled mainly via its touch screen, a fantastic 4.8-inch, 800×480 display that's bright and clear. The Archos 5 can play back photos, video, music, and PDF files, and it can surf the Web via its Opera browser. It also supports Flash 9, widgets, and an e-mail application. When it comes to media playback, the Archos 5 supports a variety of file formats in addition to often-used ones like MP3 and WMV, and with its built- in Wi-Fi connection, the Archos 5 can stream music and video from Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) server: on your network, as well as music from Internet radio stations.
