Anyone own an Archos 32? Feedback please

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Hi there,

 

Does anyone own an Archos 32?

 

I have read the feedback on other forums and just wonder from here how does the device sounds?  A comparison to other devices would be appreciated (I currently own a RB Clip +)  Also, how is the video screen for videos?  Would you buy it again or purchase something else?

 

I have a chance to get one for $130 + tax.  The things that intrigue me about it are:  Android &  Wifi,   Although, I must admitt that I am wondering how much I will use the wifi and if I should instead go with a 16Gb Cowon J3 for $219 (more battery life as well)

 

The competition would be iPod Touch and Cowon D3.  Both are much more money.

 

Looking for feedback on Archos.

 

Thanks very much.  Appreciate it!

too lag for me and the screen is too blue-ish

I think it is a great value for what it can do at its price point.  Just make sure it is updated to the latest firmware.

For what it is worth, another update came out for the Gen8 Archos devices on the 13th.  2.3.20.

The SQ is ok, as I have the Archos 70it w/Android. Mine is the 250gb model, and I have the Market app installed - slightly slow but still more than adequate. It's a winner IMO. Read 4DThinker's excellent review of it: Archos 70it Review

Thanks very much for the feedback!

 

I wonder how much Rockbox would help the sound on the Archos 32.

 

In the end I think I will be going with a Cowon J3.  I don't think that I will use the wifi that much and sound is the most important to me.
