Archos 605 PMP gets GPS add-on with traffic alerts

, Apr 24th 2008 Discuss [1]

Further blurring the line between their high-end PMP range and a PDA, Archos have announced a GPS add-on for the 605 WiFi media player. Consisting of a windscreen-mount cradle and separate SiRF III GPS puck, the accessory will add not only turn-by-turn navigation but traffic warnings and an accident notification service. Meanwhile, since the 605 is also a capable music player, users can set audio running and the GPS system will interrupt with direction instructions. Read The Full Story

Archos e-comp@gnon WiFi Communicator – someone got Champagne and Companion mixed up

, Mar 27th 2008 Discuss [0]

The press release is in French, so I suppose I could give them a break on the spelling. The deal is they are trying to create a companion to a regular cell phone. It would offer up a lot of the web capabilities of a normal cell phone, but on a larger screen, over WiFi, and with a full keyboard. Read The Full Story

, Jan 9th 2008 Discuss [0]

I know I’ve already covered this product, but I have new news, first of all I have more pics, and I have a better idea of how big it is. Most importantly, they had the interface in demo mode, so I have a video of that so you can get an idea of what it looks like in action.

Archos TV+ is everything the Apple TV should have been

, Jan 4th 2008 Discuss [3]

I hate comparing one product to another, but the Archos set top box DVR is everything the Apple TV should have been and even has an equally slick appearance. Alright, lets start with the fact that it comes in your choice of 80 or 250 gigabyte capacities, and, since its made by Archos, I wouldn’t be surprised if some enterprising modders found a way to increase that.

Special Edition Charlie Chaplin Archos 605

, Nov 20th 2007 Discuss [0]

It comes pre-loaded with 10 films, surprisingly none of them featuring Charlie Chaplin. Go figure. No, not really, they are all films of Charlie, but you probably already guessed that. You can still get it in 20, 30, 80, or 120 gigabyte versions and aside from the 10 Chaplin films you can load it up with MPEG-4, WMV, MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG, BMP, and PNG media files. You can also surf the net via the integrated wifi connection. Read The Full Story

So if you are one of the many who have been talking crap about the iPod Touch or iPhone, and have been salivating over the Archos 705, now is your chance to get in on the pre-order.

So you’ve got 21 days to wait if you order today. Read The Full Story

Archos 605 WiFi reviewed: ousts iPod Touch

, Oct 31st 2007 Discuss [1]

Over at ArsGeek there's some serious canoodling going on: they've got their hands on Archos' 605 WiFi PMP and fallen in love with the 30GB music, video and picture device.  I'm not all that surprised, really; from when we saw the PMP at IFA 2007 it's been the ominous, hardball player on the media horizon.    Read The Full Story

IFA 2007 – Archos launch TV+ PVR and media streamer, announce prices

, Sep 4th 2007 Discuss [1]

Here's something I really can't wait to get my hands on: Archos' TV+ PVR/media streamer/web surfer, which the company were flaunting at IFA 2007.  An instant competitor to the AppleTV - and, so my gut feeling says, with the potential to blow it out of the water - the compact box has a choice of 80GB or 250GB hard-drives and a plethora of connectivity including HDMI (outputting 720p Hi-Def), WiFi, USB 2.0 and ethernet.   Read The Full Story
