Archos 605 and 405

I am going to be replacing my iPod sometime this year probably, and this is an option if there isn't a bigger screen iPod coming out. The 605 has pretty impressive specs.

  • 605 will launch for $230 (4GB), $300 (30GB), and $400 (160GB)
  • 405 will launch for $170, not including SD
  • Both are available this summer
  • The 605 is 9.2 ounces, and 4.8 x 3.2 x 0.6-inches on the 4GB (flash) and 30GB model, 0.75-inches thick on the 160GB model
  • The 405 is 4.2 ounces, and 3.9 x 3.1 x 0.5-inches
  • Both 605 and 405 will have 5 hours video, 16 hours audio playback
  • The 605 not only streams video from the internet, it also downloads from a variety of paid and free channels (like CinemaNow, YouTube, BurnLounge, and Archos's own Content Portal, etc.)
  • 605 also features an EPG for recording video
It has wifi and the Opera browser. It has an 800x480 display with 200ppi. That's a good screen.
