Photo Album     (6.50)
The photo album looks absurd on the Archos 7's screen. The device can display up to 63 thumbnails at a time. Aside from helping you browse photos easier, it just looks impressive.


Seriously, this is a lot of thumbnails. Most devices give you like 15/screen, tops.

The rest of the album software is also excellent. You can string photos together into a slideshow, which you can then control with a play/pause button, previous/next photo buttons, and a progress bar you can slide to jump to a certain point in the slideshow. You can also set the duration each picture is shown for, any transitions (fade, slow fade, opening, 3D, vertical wipe, horizontal wipe, dissolve, or none), enable shuffle playback mode, or toggle the viewing format between original size and full screen.


These are the controls for the slideshow feature.

When viewing a picture, you can tap and hold to zoom in, then tap and drag to pan around. This isn't as intuitive as it sounds, since you need to remember your dragging motion requires you to maintain pressure on the screen, rather than just dragging your finger along its surface. You can also rotate pictures, but you can't crop them. There are no true editing features, such as sharpening or color adjustment.
 

Podcast Support     (0.0)
The Archos 7 doesn't have any software that specifically facilitates your podcast experience.

 

Audio Recording / Voice Notes     (0.0)
There is no microphone built into the Archos 7. It cannot record voice.
