Archos to launch iPhone rival in June?

Quote:
Archos will have its own iPhone-like announcement/release in June. This is Generation 5 in Archos’s PMP line and the recent announcement of the manufacturer’s forged partnership with CinemaNow, a leading online provider of Hollywood movies and TV shows and also the first one to offer 1500K downloads, is in direct relation to that. Imagine downloading high-definition content direct to your PMP the way you do with music and a WiFi-enabled MP3 player. So June 14 is the date and let’s hope that it is as innovative as anything that Archos has produced yet, which is saying much.

Archos is up to something, and the company's teasing us with talk of wirelessly browsing and downloading HD movies. The breathless prose in an emailed event tease goes so far as to blurt out that this upcoming Generation 5 product line will include "the most innovative products ever introduced from Archos."

Downloading high-definition movies sounds great, as long as Archos can figure out a way to get the major motion picture studios and content creators interested in the idea—unless, of course, those HD movies have taken a somewhat circuitous route unbeknownst to the studios. Can Archos pull this off?

Well, Archos calls itself "the inventor of the portable video player," and the company has actually been rather innovative with its handheld video devices. And it's high time someone gave us the ability to wirelessly download and watch HD clips on a handheld player, so maybe it's time for Archos to invent that, too. Look for the product line's "private debut" on June 14, followed by a public launch this fall. – Charlie White

Wirelessly Download HD Movies/Videos to handheld device? sounds cool.

To me Archos is the most innovative when it comes to MP3 players/PMPs and if anyone can do this they can. I have already had 2 of their plays and have loved them. Have been thinking of getting the 60 WIFI for a while now as well. Granted these devices probably won't as small as the iPod/iPhone but still interestin none-the-less.


What do you guys think?
