Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Archos Mini Dock for 405, 605, and 705 Players
Customer Review: Faster charging is just the beginning...
Summary: 5 Stars
Call me cheap, but I didn't want to pay for the DVR dock. I just wanted something to charge my Archos 605 that was faster than USB-to-computer, which would take a ridiculous number of hours to accomplish.
Enter the Minidock.
This thing is specatularly small: 3" wide x 3/4" tall (at its tallest point) and 1 1/2" deep. Also very light. It comes packed with an AC adapter with different plug adapters for various parts of the world (the standard US one is in the mix), a USB cable, and an A/V connector (with headphone jack on one end and RCA connectors on the other). Don't bother looking for a manual or instructions, because you won't find one.
The dock itself has a plug that connects to the Archos (so the Archos sits nicely on top) and the left side has mini and full-size USB connections. The right side has the AC connector, and A/V out connector. Its small size doesn't lend it as a stand, but if you use the kickstand on your player, it will still stand up nicely with the dock attached.
That's what's in the package. Now here's what it can do:
CHARGING
Charging is MUCH faster with the minidock. About 4 hours to fully charge from a low battery. And yes, you can connect to your computer while charging with no problems.
CONNECTING
You can use the mini-dock to connect to your computer or mass storage device. The two USB connector options come in very handy. Your file transfers will be much easier.
WATCH VIDEO ON YOUR TV!
The coolest feature (besides faster charging) is the A/V out. Although you won't be able to record to the Archos like the DVR dock, you can PLAY videos from your Archos on your TV. Hook up the A/V cable, hit the TV/LCD button on top of the player, and voila! The Archos becomes a video player for your big screen TV!
This minidock has plenty of features to expand your Archos without putting a dent in your wallet. It's worth it, worth it, worth it.
