Great for traveling! Oct 18, 2007
By William McCurdy
The Mini Dock is exactly what you need if you are going to be on the road with out access to USB power. The Archos 605 line of media players do not come with any other way to charge the unit other than USB, so you will need your PC to charge it. The Mini Dock not only gives you power, it has a mini-usb plug so you can attach cameras, computers, or any mass storage devices to your 605, plus a video out, so you can play your videos or still photos over a TV. I just wish it supported IR so you could use a remote control with it.

 Worth it for the faster charging alone! Nov 02, 2007
By Gadget Girl
I love my Archos 605, but playing video chews through the battery and it seems to take forever to charge via USB. If you plan on using it for video or internet you definitely want to add this accessory. It's very small and portable - yet charges the unit much faster. I think I could play video out to a TV or transfer files between a PC, camera, etc. I was on the fence to purchase this, as I will be getting the DVR dock as well. I'm glad I did because this is a great every day charger and great for travel.
One thing to note is that the Archos will not stand up straight while docked. The picture is a bit confusing. It's designed to allow you to use the kickstand and watch a video while charging, which is nice.
It ships with a mini-USB / USB cable (non-proprietary) and also AV cables. The USB cable is very short, maybe 12" or so. Very glad I chipped in the extra $30 or so for this item.

Faster charging is just the beginning... Mar 23, 2008
By Marino Shauye
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.

A must have for an Archos 605 owner Nov 28, 2007
By The Head Geek
If you own an Archos 605, at some point you will start to realize that it's not really charging over USB while you are watching movies. In fact, it will eventually shut down while you are watching a movie even while still attached to USB. It's not enough to truley power the device.
The ARCHOS MINI DOCK solves this issue, and also adds a lot of very nice features like TV out, and the ability to plug in external drives and drag and drop files to and from the archos (my 2GB flash drive works great with it, for instance!) and syncing is fast as well. Plus, you can STAND IT UP WHILE IT'S CHARGING AND WATCH MOVIES (something you can't do with the USB cable, which always bothered me).
All and all, a purchase you won't regret for a second.

Absolutely Necessary Feb 22, 2008
By Matthew Villegas
After purchasing the Archos 605, you are hopelessly low on money. If you have $30 and you cannot afford the DVR station (or even if you have to wait a week for your next paycheck), get this. This is the perfect solution to charging and its small size makes a perfect travel companion. The USB host feature works extremely well with any mass storage device. You can use a USB flash drive to hold extra music or movies and watch them directly using the mini dock. The TV out feature also works well. If you have any TV problems, the problem has nothing to do with the dock or the Archos 605 unit but rather the TV. The TV image usually will not look as crisp as the Archos 605 screen but the larger display is nice. Avoid viewing photos though because most TVs flicker when displaying the photo images. It is a very nice feature that you can use a standard type b mini usb plug when connecting the Archos 605 to a computer rather than the proprietary usb. This mini dock truly is absolutely necessary for any Archos 605 or 405 owner mainly because of the included power supply, small form factor, and a standard usb connection.
