The Bottom Line	Archos's now classic AV420 laid the foundation for modern PVPs and PVRs.	The Archos 5 boasts an improved screen size, image resolution, and sound quality over its predecessor, but its Web browser and Flash media playback are disappointing for a product marketed on the strength of its Internet media capabilities.	The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.	The Archos 5 is a great video player, but it disappoints as a premium Android Internet tablet and GPS unit.	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.
