Archos 704 WiFi - CNET

Archos-704-WiFi-Review.jpg

CNET have published their review of the Archos 704 WiFi portable media player. 'The Archos 704 WiFi multimedia player ($549.99) could be the missing link between portable media players and handheld computers. With its 7-inch touch screen interface and Web-browsing and file-serving capabilities, this sexy Linux-based beast offers traveling TV and movie buffs some impressive extras to augment the multimedia experience. A few kinks need to be worked out in the firmware and Web browser before the 704 can be truly free of frustration, but Archos has a good track record for improving their products after initial release.'

The brushed-aluminum 704 is controlled almost exclusively via the ample (7-inch) touch screen, which responds to your fingers or the included stylus. However, there are two small buttons on the left edge, Power and TV/LCD output, as well as a switch on the right for removing the battery The player has a pair of small but reasonably powerful integrated speakers on the front and a kickstand on the back. Archos also includes a full-featured wireless infrared remote, a soft carrying case, an extra stylus, and an AC charger. Notably missing is a slot or clip on the device to store the stylus.'
