Archos 604-WiFi Reviewed

Archos-604-WiFi.jpg

James Kim writing over at CNET has posted a review of the Archos 604-WiFi Portable Media Player. 'The 604-WiFi is bundled with the usual sparse set of accessories: a proprietary USB cable, earbuds, and the docking saddle. In addition, it ships with a hard case (to protect that investment!) and two styli. There are numerous accessories that will expand the 604-WiFi's capabilities including the at-home DVR Station dock, the travel kit (with the smaller dock that enables A/V recording), and basics such as an AC adaptor kit.

The bundled styli are nice to use, especially when you're stationary. In most cases, you won't even need to hit a button to operate the 604-WiFi. Problem is there is nowhere to stash it unless you have the case. While we recommend using the case for this luxury gadget, I'll admit I wouldn't use it as often as I should. If you're bound to lose your styli, it's nice to know that the touch-screen works okay using your fingers. Minor interface updates such as scroll wheels that enlarge as you touch them help those using their fingers to navigate. '
