The 4.3in TFT that takes up the bulk of the front of the Archos 604 has a resolution of 480 x 272 and is impressively bright. It’s also a touchscreen, so getting around the operating system couldn’t be easier. Browsing the internet via the built-in 802.11g wireless adaptor and the Opera web browser is a pleasant experience, while navigating songs and video is equally simple. There’s 30GB of hard disk space to play with, and it’s compatible with MP4 and WMV films by default. Battery life is adequate rather than great – 7hrs 20mins for music and 3hrs 30mins for video – enough to make a stressful commute a little more relaxed. Its only real competition is Sony’s PSP.
