Archos just dropped its most noteworthy personal media player, the Archos 704-WiFi.
This one weighs in at 22 ounces and sports a 7-inch, 800×480 pixel touch screen display, 80GB hard drive, 802.11g WiFi, support for playback of MPEG-4 ASP@L5 AVI and WMV video files and MP3 and WMA audio files (with optional plug-ins for adding h.264, MPEG-2 MP@ML, and AAC support), PlaysForSure support, an integrated PDF reader, built-in stereo speakers, Opera web browser, up to 5 hours of video playback, and a retail price of $549.99.
The Archos 704-WiFi also functions as a dockable DVR, so you can record your favorite TV shows right to the player. Suddenly, $550 seems like quite a bargain.
