Mp3 Players and Ipod Reviews

The Archos 605 generation 5 portable media player comes with a convenient WiFi feature, an attribute that offers the fastest and easiest way to access digital entertainment. You can use the built-WiFi capabilities of the Archos to download online media content from the Archos content portal: All you need is a usable WiFi connection, and you’re good to start downloading (fees may apply).

The 605 WiFi comes from a long and distinguished line of video-enabled players. In fact French firm Archos has been making hard disk players for longer than most other companies have been selling plain flash-based music portables, and while others are only just beginning to incorporate video into their products, this is its fifth generation of players.

Trustedreviews  reviews Featuring the highest quality screen resolution, highest quality video, touch screen, WiFi capabilities for streaming content to the device or a TV, the ARCHOS 605 WiFi is the top product in the line-up for flexibility, portability, features and price.

Wired reviews The 605 is like all the players in these pages rolled into one. It wirelessly surfs the Web. It plays a half-dozen audio and video formats. It displays photos and PDFs. With the help of an add-on, it even records television programming. And it ties everything together in a durable, beautifully designed package. The lush 4.3-inch touchscreen reduces button clutter to a single column on the right, while a smart-looking yet unobtrusive interface puts every menu, setting, and control exactly where you want it.

Reghardware reviews Archos’ 605 Wi-Fi represents the flagship model of the French manufacturer’s fifth generation of Personal Media Players (PMPs). And although it may not look entirely dissimilar to its predecessors, the 605 brings plenty of new features to the table.

Warpgadgets review The fact that you get 30GB of storage, a touch-sensitive 800 x 480 4.3in widescreen and Wi-Fi in a product costing less than ?200 is amazing. Add in its wireless streaming, TV recording ability, good looks and ease of use and you’ve got a product that’s nothing short of miraculous.

The good:  With top-notch video resolution, incredible viewing angles, and integrated support for wireless movie downloads, the Archos 605 WiFi is the best of its breed.

The bad: Battery life is only average. Many users will need to shell out extra for software and hardware accessories they’ll wish were included.

The bottom line: The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.
