Archos 605 Wi-Fi now Available

The much anticipated wireless portable player- Archos 605 Wi-Fi has
been released and now available for use. The The Archos 605 WiFi
allows users to wirelessly download movies, TV shows, and (soon) music
on the spot, as well as stream the latest YouTube videos.
The Archos 605's screen is big enough to do video justice, yet small
and thin enough to comfortably fit in your pants pocket. The recessed
4.3-inch TFT LCD screen is not only bright, colorful, and
glare-resistant, but it displays at a resolution of 800x480, making it
one of the highest-resolution PVPs on the market. Plus, the screen
valiantly resists smudges despite its dual-duty as a touch screen. It
also has a built-in kickstand and an internal speaker really put this
player over the top.

There are a few disappointments: The battery is non removable and its
life is only average. Many users will need to shell out extra for
software and hardware accessories they'll wish were included.

The Archos 605 WiFi is one of the most impressive portable video
players we've seen all year and its low price tag makes it very hard
to resist. You may end up spending another $100 or more on extra
features and accessories, but 605's ability to take the sting out of
road trips and air travel should make the investment all worthwhile.
