Archos PMP With WiFi Internet Access
It comes with a 7in touchscreen and
will allow you to play stored music, photo or video content, access content
stored on your PC wirelessly or connect to online video and music download
sites. It can be hooked to a TV for playback or, 
even better, used as a
portable digital video recorder (DVR) for recording your favourite TV shows or
DVD movies.
Archos has pushed the boat out on
this one in terms of features, with the screen boasting a high resolution of
800 x 480 pixels and housing an 80GB hard disk drive, which will allow for 100
hours or video, or about 70 DVD-quality movies. Battery life is estimated at 25
hours for music playback and five hours for video playback and Net browsing. It
measures 7 x 5 x 7.75in and weighs 1lb
6ozs.
The US price is $549 but that will be
closer to £400, or more here. For what’s on offer though, this is not all that
expensive. More here.
I got the AV604 WiFi and it works great! Love the added functionality of streaming from my bedroom and with the right content - the screen looks as good as my tv.
The best content around the UK is found at www.downloadstore.bt.com as they have movies, tv and others (a great Beer Insider's Guide series).
It is also plug-and-play with every Archos video player.
