The Bottom Line The well-appointed Archos AV500 puts wide-screen video in your pocket, but we're still waiting for a point-and-click way to get video into the device. The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy. The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy. Archos 705 WiFi is the biggest, baddest PVP on the market. What you get in screen size, however, you pay for in portability and picture quality. The do-it-all Archos 604 with its improved design and a low base price is an amazing PVP. Just make sure to figure in the cost of some essential extras.
