I might be being pedantic but is that a mistake?

Just because the iPod touch has WiFi doesn't mean that the all the other PMPs on the market must have it.

I did not know Cowon customer support was bad.

I got an Archos 604 WiFi, the cheaper 4GB version with the SDHC card slot for $199.

Unfortunately, the player was crashing when using certain instances of the WiFi, right out of the box. The player would also randomly shut off even when plugged in. (Not a low battery issue)

SO I tried to upgrade from firmware 1.3.04 to 1.3.08, now I have a bricked player...

I am hoping for a fix this coming Monday, but if Archos does not post new firmware for this player by Friday, I will probably just send it back and turn into an iSheep and get the touch or that 80GB classic. Or perhaps a Creative? X7?

I kind of like it when I get an electronic item that works correctly out of the box...]]>Sep 9th 2007 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/Sep 9th 2007 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/you can't firmware upgrade if you can't even turn it on]]>Sep 9th 2007 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/Sep 9th 2007 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/Sep 9th 2007 2:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/Sep 10th 2007 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/Sep 9th 2007 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/Sep 12th 2007 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/Sep 9th 2007 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/09/cowon-a3-in-the-wild-at-last/
