Plenty of storage space, WiFi enables browsing and streaming, Excellent DVR features, Supports Flash-based games, Great wireless remote
Screen isnt sharp or well-contrasted enough, Subpar audio quality, Too many features require extra money, No USB charging, *
We love the 705s huge hard drive and WiFi capabilities, but lacking physical control buttons, it should offer a better-feeling and -looking touchscreen, even if it adds cost. The device should also either come with wider support for various formats, a...
Huge, bright touch-screen display; supports many file types; comes with built WiFi, Web browser; can access Archos online content portal; works with both Macs and PCs; uses standard USB connection, AC adapter; replaceable battery
Large and heavy; big screen should have sharper resolution; a-la-carte plug-ins required for additional file types; no buttons for volume and navigation; mediocre battery life
The Archos 705 WiFi is one of the biggest and most feature-packed portable video players you can find, but bigger doesnt always mean better. ...
Abstract: Flashing a diamond ring is all good and well, but if it’s too puny to see, what’s the point? This seems to be the mindset Archos was in when it forged its mammoth 705 WiFi portable video player. If you like your mobile audio and video served u...

705 WiFi is just too big for daily use. Its also heavy, the screen resolution could be sharper, theres no tactile control for volume, and the Web browser costs extra.
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.

Large, bright screen. Up to 160GB storage capacity. All touch interface. Good content offerings and capabilities.
7-inches may be too large and heavy for most casual users. Archos needs better media transfer software, still. NillSLIGHTModeratePalpableExtreme

There is no doubting the 705s competency. As a media player it is quite superb - size, weight and slightly clumsy touchscreen UI notwithstanding. As a web browsing device, though, it is less successful, and the inability to stream internet radio or a...
