      Overall score: 6.0 (3.0 stars)
ATO iSee 360i (30GB, black) Reviewed on 04/05/2007

      Overall score: 7.3 (3.5 stars)
  • User rating: 3h stars out of 8 reviews
Archos 704 WiFi Reviewed on 03/06/2007

The Bottom Line: The Archos 704 WiFi multimedia player looks amazing on paper, but the Web browsing isn't quite smooth enough. Still, as a video player it succeeds: the large screen size makes it ideal for planes, trains, and automobiles, though it's too big to be an everyday music player.
