We found it at the Archos stand in the form of a little wireless PMP called the 604 Wi-Fi. Recent issues of Stuff have contained enthusiastic remarks about the 504’s monstrous 160GB hard drive and the 404’s pocketable form, but this model’s web-browsing functionality and touch screen mark it out as a unique species in the French company’s stable.

The 604 Wi-Fi costs £320, with the DVR station going for an extra £55. Essentials
