Archos debuts WiFi-capable 604 player

Archos has unveiled a new version of its 604 portable media player with WiFi capability, which stands to compete against Apple's video iPod. The device boasts a 4.3-inch color touch screen capable of displaying 16 million colors that allows users to surf the Web and access email directly from a network. Web access is made possible via a built-in Opera browser, and the player allows users to transfer files to one another via the WiFi connection or stream content. The 30GB hard drive stores up to 130 hours of video or 15,000 songs, according to the company. Archos' 604 also supports TV viewing via a DSL modem, providing access to IPTV over wireless alongside SHOUTcast support built into the unit for internet radio streaming. The 604 is scheduled to ship in November (pricing was unavailable).
