im a newbie on chinease mp4 players buyt thinking of putting my toe in and trying one out as have always used to archos , have been looking at the archos 43 to replace my old av500 , so any info on an improvement on the that , what im looking for is first reliabilty , 2nd play most video formats , 3rd screen size 4,3 inches to 6 inches sort of pocket size, 4th play audio books and bookmarks would be a bonus , and 5th like a lot of us price , and thanking you all in advance for any help

which 43 are you thinking as they have the 43 media player and the 43 android

the 43 media player is old tech from 2-3 years back - so i would ignore that, loook for Chinese pmp based on the sc9800 chip, like the 2 ondas in p4nations shop - sc9800 player alot of diff formats up to 1080p

Completely agree with maderin1. SC9800 chipsets are the happening chip atm.

thanks for your help yes did mean the non android

archos 4.3 did not realise they were so old !! will have a look at the ones in shop thanks

I think the archos 43 is a new generation 8 model, prior to that you had the archos 5 and archos 5 internet tablet using their own OS and android, respectively. The Onda models sold here are great if you don't need wifi and apps. I use a sc9800 player myself and have been very pleased with the video playback + battery life.

the archos 43 vision http://www.archos.com/products/mp3_play ... us&lang=en is not that old for Archos, its just that for their vision series they dug up some cheap older chinese players and re-branded them, just to add a cheap range for quick cash

heers did not know that , just done a google and turns out the archos 43 is a old rebranded Ramos T8 , besides the onda any other make or model i should look at, are the ramos better seeing as archos use them rebranded .?? saying that i do like the sound of the Onda VX590 16GB - 6" Touch Screen a little bigger than i wanted but 16gb

They are not really a rebrand of the T8 as RAmos do not make it for Archos, but they are essentially the same player, however you should really avoid this type of player as it is quite out dated, you can get much better players for the same price that Archos chooses to charge for this model.

If you really want something mainly for videos and don't need wifi/internet on your player then the VX590 is not a bad choice, it will beat most big brand players when it comes to video playback.

Right now I'd recommend a SC9800 Ainol or Onda player. The 16GB Onda VX590 is a very good deal. A lot of attention has been diverted from PMPs to Android devices, so I think that the SC9800 chipset is the best PMP platform right now. Other than that, I'd suggest looking at the "touch + button" Ainol PMPs like the 5" Ainol V5000HDG. It's just w/ these resisitive touch screens, I like having the option of using buttons too.

yes i agree i like the look of the 16GB Onda VX590 but no buttons have put me off quite a bit..is the 5"Ainol V5000HDG 16gb ? dont know why so many of these players are only 8gb seems to small for there use seeing as films can be 4gb plus
