"Looks to be a Winner"
Pros: Price; Puts together features that used to be on seperate devices, and adds useful new ones; High res display, great for web and hd videos
Cons: buttons are still the same, never was a fan of the strange arrow alignment; High res display, would make my collection of lower res videos look bad
Summary: The usual complaint is that Archos charges for everything. We'll guess what, if it all came free, this unit wouldn't cost an amazing $300. What they charge for is what Archos would have to pay other companies for, for example Opera for the web brower. And even with everything it still stands as a good value. How many other PVPs can stream YouTube videos directly, play HD video files, and surf the web with a touchscreen?
Aside from the new features, the 605 WiFi combines the basics of the 604 WiFi with the 800x480 resolution of the 704 and the large harddrive sizes of the 504 all while actually being smaller than all of them. So a few more months and I won't have to decide
