Our favorite full-sized PMP is now available in Britain, and one of the poshest gadget sites in the entire Web has learned a new word. While the cool ShinyShiny staff are learning to say PMP (pimp, P-em-P?), we’re getting excited for our U.K. readers, who make up a whopping three per cent of our readers. The Archos 704 WiFi, as the name suggests, is a WiFi-enabled PMP with an Opera browser. It boasts a scrumptious 7-inch 800×480 pixel touch screen display. If you still have no idea about how good this PMP is, have a look at a very brief critical overview from a previous post. Laptopmag actually calls the 704 the “best big-screen PMP money can buy”
Or maybe we’ll just write down some of the Archos 704 WiFi specs right here:
- Opera browser includes tab surfing
- Video support: MPEG-4, WMV, protected WMV, and H.264, MPEG-2, and VOB available as optional plug-ins
- Download and play content from Amazon Unbox, AOL, CinemaNow, and Wal-Mart.
- Weights 1.4 pounds
In the U.K., the 40GB is priced at £329.99 and the 80GB at £399.99.
