Page 2

Features include:
Full Web surfing
“The Archos Internet Media Tablets provide an unrivalled way to surf the Web on the go. No need to zoom in and out as on a PDA or a Smartphone, web pages are displayed full size on the Archos screen. The ARM Cortex superscalar microprocessor combined with the high resolution screen gives the Archos 5 and 7 the power of a laptop for the ultimate web surfing experience. Plus, with Adobe Flash 9 video support, you can natively browse video-sharing websites such as Dailymotion and Youtube.”
 
24/7 Connection
“The 3.5G technology for the Archos 5g lets you enjoy a permanent connection to the Web and access to emails via a 3.5G/HSDPA network connection. When connected, via the Mini Dock, to a 3.5G – HSDPA USB dongle, the Archos 5 and 7 can be connected to a 3.5G network, thanks to a plug-in available in the 4th quarter.”

Email Application
“The email application allows you to check emails on the go directly on the Internet Media Tablet. The IMAP or POP email service allows you to send, reply to and transfer emails easily. All attachments can be stored on the Archos device’s hard drive and be shared (compatible formats). The virtual keyboard makes writing emails a quick and easy task.”
 
Web TV and Web Radio
“Archos’ tablets let you access nearly 1,000 Web TV channels, over 10,000 Web radio stations and 100,000 podcasts in less than 3 clicks. Radio and TV start streaming instantly from a worldwide list of traditional and independent stations. It’s easy to watch daily news and sport at any time, whether you are at home or on the go.”
 
Media Club
“The Archos Media Club provides easy access to large media content library directly on your device. It remains the easiest way to get video and music content on the go, with an even richer library of movies, documentaries, music albums and games from new partners and the biggest industry players. Media is available to buy or rent in a couple of taps and start watching instantly on the Archos Internet Media Tablet.”

Videos, Photos and Music
“The high resolution 5-inch or 7-inch screen delivers the finest image available on a portable device, with the same viewing comfort as a 32-inch or 42-inch TV screen in a living room. Videos in DVD or HD quality on the go never looked so good. The high resolution screen perfectly reproduces each picture in such detail that individual pixel can’t even be seen. You can browse through photos with a simple flick of the finger or play a slideshow of your last vacation, with transition and music effects.
Fans of music can bring their entire CD collection with them on their Archos device, and even create playlists without using a PC, and with the album artwork covers your music will come to life.
You can enjoy a large choice of games on your Archos, such as poker, Sudoku or a round of golf. Premium games can be purchased directly from the tablet or at www.archos.com, and other Flash based games are downloadable for free on the Web. At home, it is easy to watch a movie or listen to music stored on a PC, directly on an Archos device without transferring the file. Just browse the PC hard drive wirelessly and play any file stored on it by streaming it via a WiFi network. No transfer needed, just stream.”
 
Transfer and store media content
“The Archos 5 and 7 allow you to transfer files quickly and easily via the USB 2.0 connection to a PC (can be used as a portable hard drive). The optional Mini Dock also lets you transfer photos directly from a digital camera, USB key or USB hard drive to the Archos to enjoy photos on the go. Your entire personal library can be stored on the Archos 5 or 7 thanks to its high capacity hard drive of up to 320 GB: all media content resides in the palm of the hand.”
 
TV recording
"With the optional DVR Station, the Archos tablets offer a fast and easy way to record TV programs for viewing back directly on the tablet or TV. TV shows can be located on the program guide grid and recordings scheduled, allowing you to enjoy your favourite programs when and where you want.”

Your Home TV wherever you are !
"With the TVportation plug-in, you will be able to broadcast  live TV to a portable device, such as a Smartphone, laptop or Archos’ Internet Media Tablet, anywhere in the world via a WiFi connection. The new feature allows you to watch your favourite TV programs at home, or on the go."
 
GPS 
"An optional GPS in-car holder turns the Archos 5 into a fully fledged GPS."

"Available at the end of 2008, the TV Snap-on turns the Archos 5 or 7 into a digital TV to receive free digital TV channels and record programs in DVD high quality."
