			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most impressive, yet affordable portable media players you can find on the market today should be the <strong>Archos 605 WiFi</strong>. Not only can you watch your favorite movies, but you can also download a lot of movies, TV shows, and music from the Archos content portal, wherever you are.</p>
<p><strong>Top-notch screen resolution…</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The Archos 605 WiFi features a large screen with excellent resolution of an 800 x 480 pixel count; it may be the highest quality screen in a current portable media player. This resolution allows the screen to be pretty bright, colorful and viewable at all angles</p>
<p>The best part is that it is touch screen so that you can operate the device with your finger effortlessly.</p>
<p><strong>WiFi…</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The Arcos 605 WIFI comes with a convenient WiFi feature. Whenever you are in a WiFi hotspot area, you are in business. Sometimes it may require for subscribing, but it’s still a great feature of the 605 portable media player.</p>
<p>Furthermore, you can download YouTube videos, stream favorite films, or tv. Even, with the Archos 605 WiFi, you can record your favorite TV shows.</p>
<p><strong>DVR capability…</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Perhaps streaming video is not an option? Well, the Arcos 605 WIFI has another great feature to consider; it has optional Dish Network plug-in. With this plug-in you can record your beloved movie that is only coming on at 2 AM and download it to your portable gadget. There is no need to worry of missing your favorite tv shows even if you fall to sleep at late night.</p>
<p><strong>Lets take a look at the features of this Archos’ portable media player</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5ZUH0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=digcamrevbesc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000S5ZUH0"  target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2765" title="Archos 605 WiFi" src="http://www.1st-digitalcamera.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/archos-605-wifi.jpg" alt="Archos 605 WiFi image" width="171" height="134" /></a>Touch screen</li>
<li>Lighweight and slim</li>
<li>High-quality screen resolution</li>
<li>WiFi</li>
<li>Easy navigation</li>
<li>Support MP3, CBR, VBR, WMA, protected WMA, and WAV files</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Also Included</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Headphones</li>
<li>USB cable</li>
<li>Adapter for optional DVR Station Gen 5</li>
<li>Protective pouch</li>
<li>Quick start guide</li>
<li>Legal/safety notice</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Any complaints?</strong></p>
<p>I find a complaint on the battery life of the Archos 605 WiFi. A user mentioned that the battery life is only average. All the great features the 605 has on a 6-hour battery, leaves him a little frustrated. However, you can opt for an extended battery pack for long run time.</p>
<p>Overall, the Archos 605 WiFi is one of the best portable media player money can buy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The newest iPod touch is no longer just a media player but more than that. In no doubt the iPod Touch is certainly great for music and movies but it’s so much more than just for listening to music and watching movies.</p>
<p>Supported by a vast and still growing third-party community, the latest model of the iPod touch represents an Apple&#8217;s handheld computing platform. This incredible portable device has turned into a complete mobile computer with thousands and more third-party applications available on Apple&#8217;s iTunes Apps Store.</p>
<p>One of the latest models the iPod touch fans have been waiting for is the iPod touch 4th Gen. Known as &#8220;the iPhone without the phone&#8221; the new iPod Touch 4th Gen comes with amazing design, HD video recording capabilities, a superior display, Wi-Fi, and a ton of features carried over from iPhone 4.</p>
<p><strong>Amazing design</strong></p>
<p>As far as design goes, the iPod Touch 4th Gen is obviously lighter and thinner than its predecessors but still maintains a sturdy feel with curved, chromed steel backing. This new iPod touch is now a mere 7.2 mm thin.</p>
<p>While the profile of the buttons is the same as on the previous models, the volume rocker is now split into two separate buttons. Headphone and dock connections are still on the bottom, but they are joined by a small speaker frame slit on the left side of the dock connection.</p>
<p><strong>HD video recording</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FA1O18?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=digcamrevbesc-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001FA1O18" rel="nofollow"  target="_blank"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2704" title="iPod Touch 4th Gen" src="http://www.1st-digitalcamera.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ipod-touch-4th-gen.jpg" alt="iPod Touch 4th Gen image" width="180" height="210" /></a>The coolest thing about the iPod Touch 4th generation is the addition of two video cameras&#8211;one facing the user and one facing out and its capability of recording High Definition video.</p>
<p>The itouch 4th generation can record HD video up to 30 frames per second with audio; still photos (960 x 720) with back camera. With the front camera, you can capture VGA-quality photos and video up to 30 frames per second.</p>
<p><strong>Retina display</strong></p>
<p>Turn the iTouch 4 generation on, and you&#8217;re instantly blown away by the brilliant Retina display &#8211; the 960-by-640 backlit LCD screen. It packs 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution iPod screen ever. With Retina display, you will certainly see the difference. Text is outstandingly sharp, and graphics are amazingly vivid.</p>
<p><strong>Game Center</strong></p>
<p>Take your friends along for the ride, or match and mission. With the new iPod Touch You can invite someone by sending a friend request using their email address or nickname. All you need to do is just signed in to the Game Center app. You can also download any games you see by tapping links in Game Center.</p>
<p><strong>Also Included</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Earphones</li>
<li>Dock connector to USB cable</li>
