FCC Reveals Archos 704 WiFi

Archos 704 WiFiArchos is making a name for itself, and although for some it might not be the best name they are definitely not quitters. We actually kinda’ liked the Archos 604 video player for it’s sharp look and decent screen size. We liked it even more when the added WiFi to it and we noticed some of the cool accessories, like the helmet cam.

Today pictures of a new version of the player called the Archos 704 WiFi was revealed via the FCC and we couldn’t help but notice the words “MOBILE DVR” stamped on the front.

The actual functionality details are a little gray at this point, but it does seem to have the same sharp look, possibly a little bigger screen and maybe a bigger hard drive for storing and playing more movies. Common DVR functions are a strong possibility which would probably include the ability to pause and rewind video and the ability to schedule a recording. Other rumors of a the 704 having a TV tuner built in have been floating around, but according to the guys at DailyTech that seems a little unlikely according to the FCC report.

There was some information available on the Archos 704 aside from the photos. The player appears to use DDR2 memory, some flash memory, a DM420 CPU, and we suspect a hard drive in excess of 30GB. Oh, and it appears to have passed with the FCC so hopefully we will be seeing a official release from Archos soon.
