Digital camera reviews of Archos 605 Wi-Fi Portable Media Player (4 GB)
Digital camera Review: ...7 months and my Archos 605 WiFi (4GB)
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my Archos 605 WiFi (4gb) for about 7 months now. I take it
where ever I go. It allows me to bring my music (DRM Free), videos,
and pictures where ever I go.
Simply put, the Archos blows the doors off of the iPod and what ever Apple, Creative and yes even SanDisk can offer for media players.
No additional software needed, you plug it into your PC via USB and use it like an external hard drive, and drag files to and from the unit. Making no need for bloated software such as iTunes to only put your music on the unit.
It plays a various amount of video formats right out of the box (.avi, .mpg, .divx, .flv, etc), with the option to purchase more CoDecs.
Excellent music player, album art, play lists, etc.
So your worried about the 4GB RAM limitt? You can expand the storage space of the unit via the SDRAM slot on top.
With its WiFi capabilities, you can share, copy files from your network, or access the internet (browser is an additional cost). You can stream media from any source sharing.
I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great media player for a decent price.
