FCC approves Archos 605 PMP

The FCC has just given its nod of approval to the Archos 605 Portable Media Player, which means you can start saving your pennies today when it is finally released. The Archos 605 comes with WiFi connectivity and is touted to be the most advanced PMP available today. Features include a high resolution 4.3″ display at 800 x 480 pixels, an integrated TV program guide for easy scheduling and recording of programs, a 30GB hard drive, and an SDHC memory card slot. The Content Portal feature lets you pick up music, movies and TV shows for new content as they are made available. Pricing details are currently unknown. Will this be a direct competitor to the video iPod? I would’ve liked to see a larger hard drive, although the SDHC memory card slot (up to 16GB) is a nice touch.
