In the midst of the media player developments that have been going on, Archos came up with their latest release a while ago with the 704 media player which includes a large seven inch screen and Wi-Fi support. Archos has once again proved with its 704 Wi-Fi (which is the ultimate PMP for multimedia mavens) that it is the reigning king of portable multimedia players (even if Apple wants to think otherwise). It would be wrong on my part if I call 704 a portable PVP or an MP3 player.

The Archos 704 boasts a seven inch screen and an optional DVR dock for recording TV shows and surfing the web wirelessly. It also features twin USB ports, long battery life, button control and a button which is positioned on the right side of the unit for ejecting the battery. Archos 704 also supports a touch screen interface besides its regular button control for the navigation. This 1.4 pound device is first and foremost a movie player and because of its high resolution of 800 x 480, it is able to deliver a superior movie watching experience.

This Wi-Fi media player comes with a built in kickstand which offers hands-free viewing. It supports a large number of video files and with its exceptionally good battery life you can expect around four hours of video playback, which is a good deal in itself. If you are interested in checking your mails or simple web browsing, this 704 is just perfect for you. It supports the Opera web browser which gives a pleasurable viewing experience while its bright and clear screen makes the web pages legible from any angle.

Therefore, if you are l hunting for a device that is able to handle all your multimedia needs, then you should look no further as 704 with its vast array of features will surely not disappoint you.
