1 out of 5 stars Great idea, poor design   September 4, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The idea of tip exchange is pretty ingenious, but unfortunately the concept that makes this product so appealing is also its biggest engineering flaw. The exchangeable tip introduces a point-of-failure to an otherwise solid product. I have used mine for my Archos in my car for less than a month when the car charger ceased to charge my product. When I looked into why, I noticed the tip had become loose and moved around with only the slightest pressure from my thumb. I took the tip inside to try it on the wall charger, which also did not work. When I jiggled the tip around to try and re-seat the connection, the tip began to smoke. This tip is now in the trash. This may not be a typical experience, but beware the poor design of this product.


2 out of 5 stars Depends on your use   August 2, 2008

This does not work as you think it is going to. It cahrges the unit well but you can't use it or watch anything while it is charging.


5 out of 5 stars Portable charging power   March 27, 2008
These are great for portable charging on the go. Either in the car or hotel room...well worth the purchase!


5 out of 5 stars Must have for Archos 605   February 24, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The car charger works great! I have not spent a lot of time using the wall charger because I also have the dvr dock. But even with that the first time fully charging the Archos 605 took over 14 hours. A must have for travel.


1 out of 5 stars doesn't work   February 21, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I got the correct tip and used fresh new batteries and after charging over12 hours, my archos was still at the 1 red bar. Gomadic then gave a lame explanation as to why it wouldn't work. Save time and money and don't order.
