Archos 160GB 605 Wifi Portable Video Player ( 500966-B )
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-in Wi-Fi
capabilities of the Archos to download online media content from the
Archos content portal: All you need is a usable Wi-Fi 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 160 GB of built-in memory.
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 Wi-Fi 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.
