I love the archos7 , but archos tec assist is none excistant, I have contacted them three different times with download issues and web TV questions.. Each time I have been placed on hold and waited at least twenty minutes only to find out the call is dropped.I still haven't received a call back or e-mail.

3.0 out of 5 stars How To Get Ripped Off By Archos: Yet Another Gadget To Add To Your Desk Drawer, November 26, 2009

Though the product works i am going to use this to gripe mostly about Archos for these reasons. They charge way too much, for far too many things, and have a tendency to advertise to their american audience deceptively by leaving out certain information. For example saying a machine can do something and then not mentioning you have to pay for it to be able to do that. Another would be to say it will do soemthing and then later down the line stating that they no longer plan on doing that, such as with being able to receive tv broadcasts. Or creating a gadget to to do one aspect like record television, but leaving out that you can't play it back on the tv using that very same gadget. They need to consolidate their aresenal, include all their playback software with the machine and not charge 20 to 45 bucks a pop to have them on their, improve the interaction of their product with the user, and overall quit thinking they are making a good product simply because the screen is larger than an ipod touches. As far as coming back to their product. Until they improve all that i have forementioned i will not be going back to them, and i would highly suggest you get a netbook with a long life battery before investing in the gimmickiness of this sluggish and highly overrated machine. Sorry guys, that's just been my expireince three machines in. And I have heard their newest doesnt do or offer much more than before.
