On introduction to the 705 your first thought will almost certainly be wow, thats big, rapidly followed by wow, thats heavy. At 182 x 128 x 20mm and a weight of 630g, the 705 is a man-sized box of tissues PMP and no mistake. The limitations of p...

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...

The photos of the 705 WiFi available on this manufacturer’s website give you the idea that this device is disproportionate compared to other products of the new (5th) generation. And it’s a not false impression. This multimedia player and its 17.7 cm...

While both devices are rather on the pricey side of affordable, and the need to purchase plug-ins to make use of the full feature-set is a touch disappointing, these two ‘Generation 5’ Archos portable media players offer an exciting storage solution combined with full multimedia player functionality and may well be just what you’re looking for.

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...

With its spacious 7-inch display and hefty feature set, the Archos 705 WiFi is the granddaddy of the companys Generation-5 line of portable video players. While this fully-loaded PVP manages to match (and in some, ways even exceed) Editors C...

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.

Sporting a 7-inch widescreen display, we wonder if the Archos 705 PMP is what video lovers on the go have been waiting for.

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...
Weve never been huge fans of the somewhat utilitarian design of the Archos players, so its somewhat ironic that we appreciate the largest of the bunch precisely for its sleek elegance. We like that Archos has left the buttons to the smaller devices...
