One important fact is still missing: Arnova is already independant from Archos businesswise. Still using patents and designs, but Archos Technology Hong Kong pays "royalty fees" etc. -> pls update information about Arnova — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.63.214.72 ( talk) 15:02, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm, it is now May 2010 and no sign of the authors taking on board the many good suggestions on this page. I decided I'd go check consumer opinions on Amazon.com. The difference in tone is predictable but nonetheless startling. This article requires serious pruning. There must be an article about a similar size company that could serve as a template. Peut-être que je le ferai moi-même si les auteurs ne se manifestent pas rapidement. A bon entendeur. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.195.172.7 ( talk) 21:02, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

This one article seems to be getting cluttered, and there is still more information that can be added especially about the newer 04 Series, and not to mention the upcoming 05 Series and ArchosTV Plus
Is the passage and two external links for the ZVUE here really necessary? Is it not advertising?
hopefully the edits currently going on will address this :) -- Frantik 06:25, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
this page is a very blatant advertisement for archos... it needs to be redone. "no your eyes are not decieving you!" please... spare me. --posted by User:216.66.121.179
Uh, I guess it would be best to revert to a version from 2 January 2006. Sorry about all the work Nukey did, but it's really much more like an advertisment than anything else. - Pableu 10:31, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
While I know Wikipedia is one of the best online fact sites here, I decided to add extras to this, by adding pictures and more descriptive terms for the products.
This was not advertising, it was merely keeping the article friendly yet informative. Yes I may well agree that "Your eyes are not deceiving you" sentence was a little over the top, This was purely to give the reader a more friendlier, positive approach.
I know that there should be no emotion but this was purely to give easier digestibility to the reader.
With regard to the (R) signs, as the company names are registered trademarked, this is a legal requirement to show this. This is in no way a form of advertising, it is merely a legal need.
As you are not happy with the article, I have reverted it back to it's original state from the 3rd of January 2006.
Thank you for your input anyway,
- Nukey

Well you are one of the admins (I think) so that's totally up to you.
all it will require afterwards is a little layout cleanup but I think I'd be better off leaving it alone :]
-- Nukey
I wonder who is make the Archos wiki page an advertisement? I dunno, may be Archos. I am partly of the Opinion that we should trim the article, or just add all the negatives about archos. Like their poor customer server. I guess that really would not be in the wiki spirit, but I hate it when people abuse Wikipedia.
I have tried to make this article as NPOv as possible, but it still may be a bit biased. -- Frantik 20:09, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
I found the Gmini 400 portion of the article to be written like an advert so I made some edits to it. --

I think the article is still quite biased and contains little information that could not simply be found on Archos's website. As someone who has owned the AV380, AV480 and currently, the AV5100, there seem to be very few criticisms of these device, such as the difficulty in using these devices with an Apple Mac (they don't disconnect cleanly), the inability of the widescreen models (AV500, AV700 etc.) to record anamorphic widescreen broadcasts and then play them back in the correct aspect and the whole dubious nature of copyright infringement when recording television broadcasts or obtaining DivX/XviD movies from the Internet, Newsgroups etc..

How about remove all these references to awards? I just think they're silly. -- Frap 02:57, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
If you look at the iPod article you will see the same there. :)
I was refering to the large list of players on the iPod wiki, nearly all their products are featured on there too. I was thinking about snipping out the individual products out of the atricle and turning them into stubs - that may be an idea.. -Nukey
Yup I actually agree on that now, it was taken straight from their website but I see exactly where you are coming from now :) -- Nukey
- Could easily add a photo of the jukebox multimedia 20 (taken on it's own camera) but this would be lower quality than the one there now: should I still put one up? Jon m 20:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Mardus 21:25, 20 September 2006 (UTC)Also recently, due to a violation of the gnu/linux license (the GPL), the source code for some of the firmware in their 04-series players has been released. This is certainly important enough to warrant a note on the page (Archos' website link: GPL software download page 65.112.197.16 01:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure why the feature always gets changed, its a USB flash drive not just Flash Memory which can be a number of other things, and its release was only a year or two after the first flashdrive released TMV943 ( talk) 02:44, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
We will need to update this page, along with others, as the new Archos 5 and Archos 7 are about to be released, along with the Archos 5G later in December. This is extremely significant.. 65.10.103.58 ( talk) 17:54, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
yeh also the gps dock and the 605 gps Machete97 ( talk) 20:33, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
I have tried to update it so that it doesn't just talk about a product alredy released but people keep reverting it back. UniversityofPi ( talk) 21:26, 29 November 2009 (UTC)UniversityofPi
It needs clarification whether the Archos 101 has 800 Mhz (as current article states) or a 1Ghz processor ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbMTYoAgYPw&feature=player_embedded 2m41s)? -- Grzegon ( talk) 14:55, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
This entry seems to be mainly a list of tech specs for past and current products. I don't see how this meets Wikipedia standards. -- 70.167.58.6 ( talk) 22:12, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
As of later Android 2 versions, the compatibility definition document ( PDF) describes cellular and GPS functionality as optional. Has Archos ever given a reason as to why its Generation 8 products fail to "comply with Google's compatibility requirements" as Android Market#Market application restrictions states? -- Damian Yerrick ( talk | stalk) 12:06, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
14 (not: "2 14") hours music is correct?
"Internal storage: 8 GB*" asterisk "*" does mean anything?

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Archos. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
