The 605’s bright,<br />
800 x 480-pixel LCD<br />
all but eliminates the<br />
miscues and ignored<br />
commands of touchscreens<br />
past. Styluses<br />
are included, but unless<br />
you have Hulk-sized<br />
paws, you won’t be<br />
needing the pointers.<br />
WIRELESS TO GO<br />
There’s built-in Wi-Fi, and<br />
it’s a breeze to browse<br />
sites, download content,<br />
and watch YouTube clips.<br />
Archos’ version of Opera<br />
is optimized for the <strong>sm</strong>all<br />
display, loading pages<br />
quickly, and a QWERTY<br />
keyboard pops up<br />
onscreen whenever you<br />
need to type a URL.<br />
EXTRA ORDER-Y<br />
Certain functions are<br />
sold à la carte: The Web<br />
browser is $30, the<br />
Internet radio plug-in<br />
$20, and so on. Though<br />
it may feel like nickelingand-diming,<br />
our musthave<br />
add-ons (Opera<br />
browser and widgets<br />
plug-ins for calendar<br />
and games) upped the<br />
cost by just $50.<br />
POCKET DVR<br />
To record TV shows,<br />
you’ll need the $100<br />
docking station (or $70<br />
travel adapter). Setup is<br />
TiVo-simple—when you<br />
tap the recording icon<br />
in the main menu, the<br />
device downloads the<br />
latest program guides.<br />
Tag shows you want,<br />
then dock the player<br />
before airtime and it<br />
captures them for your<br />
morning commute.<br />

tap Archos Content<br />
Portal to buy flicks<br />
