    CNET Review

    August 30, 2007

    The Good: With top-notch video resolution, incredible viewing angles, and integrated support for wireless movie downloads, the Archos 605 WiFi is the best of its breed.

    The Bad: Battery life is only average. Many users will need to shell out extra for software and hardware accessories they'll wish were included.

    The Bottom Line: The Archos 605 WiFi portable video player is one of the best mobile distractions money can buy.
