HD Multimedia

ARCHOS has always been praised for the quality of its devices. We consistently use the latest technologies, setting the standard for multimedia features. And when it comes to video, it would be hard to find an equivelent. The quality of the screen and the resolution (two and one-half times that of the majority of video players on the market) are clearly positioning the device at the very high end. And the number of formats and codecs accepted by this computer-like device is simply astonishing. The ARCHOS 5 internet tablet has no rival for multimedia capabilities, be they HD video*, music, or photo browsing. The ARCHOS media widget also makes these features very accessible.

With storage sizes reaching up to 500 GB, your ARCHOS 5 internet tablet can store up to 600 movies, 290,000 songs or 5 million photos. No need to be frugal, store everything on your ARCHOS.

GPS Navigation. Classic or Cutting edge ?

For the 3rd year in a row, ARCHOS has equipped its flagship device with an optional GPS Navigation solution. But it’s a completely new experience. For starters, the GPS is built directly into the device. This means that you don’t need to be tied to a windshield. You can use it in pedestrian or adventure mode. There are also numerous 3D landmarks, which transform the journey you are taking into a whole new experience.

But there’s more to it with the 3D Photorealistic views of cities. It’s a fantastic way to discover a city while driving or walking through it. You’ll see the city just as if you were flying over it. With this ARCHOS 5 internet tablet, discover what GPS truly means.

TV-Centric

The ARCHOS DNA has always included TV one way or another. The ARCHOS 5 internet tablet is no exception to that. Thanks to the optional accessories such as the HDMI Minidock and the DVR Station, the ARCHOS 5 internet tablet will become your one and only media center, letting you benefit from the exceptional quality of your HD TV to watch movies like never before, at full resolution. And with the DVR Station, you can record your TV and thus transform your TV experience into a mobility experience. Last but not least, the ARCHOS 5 internet tablet lets you easily access over 1,000 webTV stations (and over 10,000 webradio stations).

You can also use your TV and your ARCHOS 5 internet tablet as a PC. With an external keyboard (USB or Bluetooth™), you can leverage all the capabilities of your ARCHOS 5 internet tablet and surf the web on your HD TV, or view presentations, spreadsheets or Word documents (and edit them in the near future). In a nutshell, the ARCHOS 5 internet tablet will truly transform the way you use your TV.
