The Archos 5 is more than just a music or video player, but a fully featured Media Internet Device (MID) that once you've watched videos and listened to some music, lets you surf the web, get your emails and then if you've got the TV docking station record content from the TV.
The catch? To fully realise the potential of this device you will have to buy some software add-ons from Archos as well as the TV docking station, so it’s worth bearing that in mind when you think of a final price.
If you are willing to do that and want a device that offers a considerably more comprehensive offering than the iPod touch (certainly when it comes to video playback) then this is worth a closer look.
