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). With the Archos in hand, for the first time you can download
favorite movies, TV shows, and music wherever you are, without being tied to
the PC or Mac. Other great features include a full-color 4.3-inch
touchscreen that crams in an amazing 800 x 480 picture resolution for
superior picture quality, 4 GB of built-in flash memory, and multiple
options for additional storage (the player accepts SD mini and SD micro
memory cards).

With full Internet access, the player's Opera browser plug-in offers Adobe
Flash support, which lets you access and enjoy YouTube and other Web video
sites on your Archos device. By using the player, you can view and post
YouTube videos wherever you are with an active wireless connection. In
addition to downloading media straight from the Archos content portal, you
can stream and watch videos from your home PC or laptop. You can also record
live TV or schedule a recording by using the integrated TV program guide
available with the compatible DVR station (sold separately). For added video
playback versatility, the player is compatible with MPEG4, AVI, and WMV
video files. The player features robust music playback features, too.
On-board music file playback capabilities support MP3, CBR, VBR, WMA,
protected WMA, and WAV files. To help round out the player's multimedia
superiority, the Archos even comes with photo viewing capabilities. JPEG,
BMP, and PNG files are 100 percent compatible with the player, and the
player can pull up PDFs for portable review -- an ideal means to take bigger
documents or e-books in PDF format on the road with you. Because of the
Archos's USB 2.0 compatibility, files can be quickly transferred to the
device in the absence of a WiFi network connection. Charging the device can
also be accomplished with an active USB connection. An AC adapter is sold
separately for additional charging options. Other great features include
mass storage capabilities, automatic firmware downloads, and a
3.5-millimeter headphone jack. With an advanced Li-Poly battery, the player
supports up to 17 hours of continuous music playback and 5.5 hours of
continuous video playback. Weighing in at a scant 5.29 ounces, the Archos
generation 5 605 measures 4.8 by 3.2 by 0.6 inches.
