Interview with Rémi Durand, Archos products manager and marketing director at IFA 2007 on the 4th of September in Berlin Germany. This video explains a lot of things about the Gen5, the new business model of the Archos Content Portal, the flash support, widgets, HD, the battery dock and more. This was filmed as a part of a bunch of interviews that I filmed of all the best companies and products that I could find at IFA 2007 and I am posting all the videos at http://techvideoblog.com/ifa/?year=2007
Presenting the 704 Wi-Fi and the 204 for the first time on the Internet in High Definition. As you can see in this video, the 704 Wi-Fi has an amazingly good 7 inch 800×480 resolution touch-screen, the 204 is the cheapest and smallest 20GB mp3 player on the market. No confirmation yet if there will be features added in firmware like webradio, IPTV, VOD, HSDPA drivers, USB-keyboard drivers.. No confirmation about those features becomming available with the 4th generation or if they might not come before the 5th generation.

Doing podcasts is fun, so maybe we should start producing some in english here for ArchosFans.com. Check back soon for english speaking Archos related podcasts. And also check back soon for the HD video-review of the 704 Wi-Fi with its 800×480 touch-screen as soon as it is available.
Those AV500E and AV700E have been released a year ago, though there is still no equivalent in terms of being able to transfer recorded DVR content easilly over on a PMP:
Video review of the 604 Wi-Fi, showing close-ups of it in action, connecting to stream from a local video server, browsing the Internet, navigating the touch-screen interface, comparing the screen quality with the 504 and showing more details. This is the first review of the 604 Wi-Fi out of several that I will do each time a new important firmware release is available.
Video review of the Archos 504 160GB. You can thus see it here demonstrated in full HD quality. I will follow up with more video reviews later, about interesting firmware upgrades, codec plugins and other accessories.
Archos has a nice booth at IFA 2006. Showing the 504 which is a 160GB PMP, the 604 with a 4.3″ screen, probably the best quality screen on any portable multimedia devices. The 404 which is a very small and thin PMP but still has a large 3.5″ screen. When we were about to film an interview with a representative demonstrating their 604 Wifi and 404 Camcorder, they had to go and receive an award for second most favourite Mp3 player in Germany after the ipod. So I will film the interview and provide you with information about the 604 Wifi and more exclusive information about its Browser and IP centric possibillities will be explained on a next video to be made available here.
