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 and 80 GB
of built-in memory.
Download your favorite movies, TV shows, and
music, and bring it with you. |
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. 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 9.17 ounces, the Archos generation 5 605 measures 4.8 by 3.2 by 0.6
inches.
