The French consumer electronics company Archos manufactured a number of products which have since been discontinued.
It is a standard netbook featuring the intel Atom N260 CPU, a 10.2" WSVGA screen, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB Harddrive, and Windows XP.
The Generation 4 players were modular, with the unit base priced cheaply and additional features available at extra cost.
The Opera web browser was made optional, and support for Adobe Flash, facilitating online video streaming, was implemented.
It performed similarly to an Archos player with a DVR dock, and included a Qwerty remote for navigation and internet use.
On August 19, 2008, Archos announced their 6th generation portable media players with WiFi and cellular 3G internet capabilities.
The AV400 runs the same software as AV300, the camera has been removed and a CompactFlash card slot has been built directly into the product.
Image preview slides and DRM WMA support, as well as WMV access are also included.
The PMA400 is a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) with a hard disk drive, audio and video playback, and recording capabilities.
It also has full support for Windows Media's PlaysForSure system which allows users to play DRM restricted music.
The Gmini XS 100 group of players features a 1.5" screen, and full PlaysForSure capabilities.
It was replaced by the Gmini XS 204, which adds a color screen and image viewing capabilities.
The Archos Jukebox Multimedia is the first official portable media player, which enabled users to upload digital camera content via accessory card readers that connected directly to the device's expansion port.
[clarification needed] It also featured an audio and video player, an image viewer, and appropriate AV cables included.
The player features a 10 or 20 GB hard drive and uses DivX MPEG4 format for video recording and playback.
