Comment Archos != Quality Products (Score 2, Informative) 225
I love my Recorder 20 device from Archos, but, the quality of their products is deplorable. After convincing a friend to purchase an Archos, he returned 3 20s to Fry's as they were all DOA.
After hearing about 2 different 20 Recorders failing (on top of the three DOAs), I doubt I would trust Archos hardware any time soon.
In addition to the hardware issues, the software is not the best either. Look at some of the threads on this topic to hear about those issues. I love the recorder, but it fails more times then is succeeds. I have had to go back to CDR for my concert work as the Archos hard locks 20 minutes into most performances.
So Archos is 2 for 2. Hardware that fails and buggy software. Excellent ideas and great price, but you get what you pay for...
