Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 07:00 PM
"ARCHOS, Inc., introduces the industry’s most advanced Portable Media Player with the ARCHOS 704-WiFi, the only PMP with a 7-inch touch-screen and full wireless capabilities. The new 704-WiFi presents the highest quality screen with 800x480 resolution and 5x7 dimensions—making it similar in size to a standard photograph. The ARCHOS 704-WiFi is the latest in the company’s Generation 4 line-up, priced at $549.99, and is available for pre-order today from www.archos.com. The ARCHOS 704-WiFi joins the company’s 604-WiFi in offering complete PMP features—video, music and photo playback—with full Internet access for surfing the Web and sending email. The new 704-WiFi features an 80GB hard drive with the capacity to store 100 hours of video, or about 70 DVD-quality movies, as well as two high-quality speakers for enhanced audio even without headphones. The 704-WiFi also supports video downloads from the new online stores of leading retailers, giving consumers the flexibility to enjoy their entertainment wherever they want, in their own place, on their own time."
This would be an outstanding travel companion for any media buff. In fact I could leave my laptop home and travel with this. If the browser is fully featured and allowed you to use it with things like Google apps, this could really serve as an UMPC for a lot of users. Add the ability to use this with a Slingbox and this would be PMP nirvana.
