My friend has a 504 and he loves it, enough to show it off to everyone, at least. I don't think he's had any problems with it. ]]>Jul 2nd 2007 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 14th 2007 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 14th 2007 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 14th 2007 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Can I read eBooks in the Microsoft Reader and the Mobipocket formats?
If the formats have open specifications, you should be able to... if not, you shouldn't buy those to begin with.

Why people spend money on content that locks them in is beyond me. That's why Archos rocks and Apple doesn't -- Apple does their best to lock you into their platform. Microsoft is no better. If you want to read your MSeBooks, go buy a Zune.

If you want to USE your content (not have it use you), buy some with out a lock and this kick-a55 player.]]>Jun 14th 2007 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 25th 2007 3:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 14th 2007 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 14th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 14th 2007 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 14th 2007 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/
Don't forget this also records TV from most analogue AV sources too (albeit only while attached to the dock).

Expanded capacity is great too.

The increased res is great but I hope Archos improves overall. They would be OUTSTANDING if it weren't for...
1. You have to buy codecs (eg. MPEG)separately. My workaround: transcode MPEG videos to AVI using shareware. But what a pain. Some vids play OK but others encoded with "QUARTER PIXEL" don't play.

2. The documentation needs massive improvements. The provided pdfs and written docs are just quick reference guides which point you to other quick references for details. Also, it took me forever to figure out which option does what. I eventually found a web document which compared all docking and DVR options - It wasn't obvious that the travelling DVR option is included with the external video cam.

3. It doesn't come with a power supply. You can charge using the supplied USB cable but you can't use it while the unit is charging. You get a power supply when you buy the DVR cradle.

My iPod and I are going through a very difficult relationship right now. We have disagreements with higher res file types, we have arguments over space (capacity), and we hardly see each another anymore because the damn screen is too small.

In any case,...lol


Although it will be hard for me, I have to do what's best for me and ask these three questions.


Concerning this Archos 605: (3 Simple Questions)



1st
What is the highest resolution video file format that can be played on this Archos 605 device?




2nd
Which software program can convert DVD’s to this file type?




3rd
What is an estimate range of how big this file will be @ max (assuming it’s a 2.5 hour movie)?





I need some relationship advice yall, holla @ Me.]]>Jun 21st 2007 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/Jun 23rd 2007 2:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/
I recently picked up a SANSA 280R from best buy for $149... its a nice player but if for $300 i can nab one of these ill likely take it back... if the 605 will see the light of day around the same time... if its not coming til fall ill keep what i got and drool over the 605 later. :-)

Anyone have US release dates?]]>Jun 28th 2007 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.archos.com/store/psearch.html?country=gb&lang=en&prod_id=archos605wifi]]>Jun 29th 2007 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/14/archos-announces-605-wifi/

Beautiful bit of kit - decent interface.

The problem is power... In order to be able to power this up away from a PC - you need to buy a power adapter and a docking station, total £60!
