After about a month of all those unofficial photos and specs, the Archos 704 WiFi has finally gotten itself a product page on the company’s website. The 80GB media player stretches the definition of “portable” with its 7-inch (800 x 480) touch screen and 7.05″ x 4.96″ x 0.78″ footprint, but other than that, it’s basically identical to its more traditional PMP sibling the 604 WiFi.
That means 802.11b/g and Opera browser, plus everything else found in the Generation 4 series: MPEG-4 and WMV video, MP3 and WMA audio, optional plug-ins for H.264 and AAC, PDF and photo viewer, and direct recording from various sources with the purchase of the DVR Station.
The Archos 704 WiFi can be preordered now for $550, with shipping beginning on March 22nd.

Try lifting some pink weights if you have problems carrying this.

I love it.”fine”This isn’t the 10 gram ipod MP3 player. Its a PMP. You either sacrifice the large screen and get a featherweight PMP thats tiny and has a small screen where u cant even tell if the guy in the movie your watching has a mustache or not or you get a superb seven inch screen, that anyone who is above the anorexic level can carry with wifi and a browser (imagine browsing on a 2″ screen) photo viewer (2″ screen? cant tell your mom from your dad!) and so on and so forth. so you see my little weakling, the “big” size is worth it.
