      The Archos 605 WiFi sets the bar high for the competition with a touch screen, 800x480 pixel resolution, and a large storage capacity. It's too bad the optional plug-ins are so expensive... ...

    • Pros: Much improved screen, Well thought out interface, Wireless functionality
    • Cons: Web browser a paid-for addition

    • Product Rating: 4.05 star(s) Review: Archos 605 WiFi portable media player
      by Philip Berne
    • Pros: Great screen with polished new interface. Good video playback, with some interesting content options. Best-in-class Web browser.
    • Cons: No transfer software, still. Wi-Fi can get sluggish. Buttons seemed wobbly, and we weren't fond of the button layout.
    • Comments:
