After a couple of weeks with both of these devices, I’ve leared to love and hate many features between the Cowon Q5W and the Archos 605 Wifi. Here is my list of pros and cons based on my personal experience. These are just my opinions, which may or may not reflect your own. Continue Reading >>

Archos 605 vs. Cowon Q5W – Charging Comparison

Cowon Q5W took 6.5 hours from empty to full charge. Not too bad. The Archos 605 took over 14 hours!!! I actually don’t know exactly how long the Archos took to recharge, because it finished sometime during the night while I was asleep. I plugged it in at 9:42 am and as of 11:30pm, it still wasn’t done. That means I have time for only one full charge a day. If I watched only videos, I’d get about 4.5 hours of play time after which I’d have to hang it up for another 14+ hour recharge. Archos is going to make me buy another accessory, the charging dock…bast_rds.
