"Fundamentally flawed"
What I like:
Plays brilliantly
What I don't like:
Crashes- especially problems with wi-fi
Review:
I bought this because I wanted the wi-fi feature. Properly implemented it would be brilliant. Sadly, it has a lot of problems connecting and frequently crashes requiring "reboots" and "resets". If you only want a player then there are cheaper, better alternatives than this. The Archos Help-line is permanently engaged.

MySpace Music stumbles into the UK: Eugh
MySpace Music launched in the UK today, and we just don't get it. Not only is it ludicrously late to the party, it's just horrible to use

Has an impressive range of features, but its unresponsive touchscreen is annoying
Philips GoGear Muse
Good format support and a slick design can't make up for a poor screen and laborious user interface
Apple iPod shuffle (September '09, 3rd gen, 4GB)
Its small size is impressive, but makes it trickier to use than rival devices
