Excellent

8.7

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 8.7 out of 10
Reviewed by Donald Bell
Review date: 8/30/07
Release date: 8/30/07

The good: With top-notch video resolution, incredible viewing angles, and integrated support for wireless movie downloads, the Archos 605 WiFi is the best of its breed.

The bad: Battery life is only average. Many users will need to shell out extra for software and hardware accessories they'll wish were included.

The bottom line: The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.
