Updated: Archos announces new line of MP3 players and PVPs

Jasmine France, CNET.com | Jun 15, 2007

An Archos press event in France has revealed the new Archos line a mere hours before an event is scheduled to take place in the US. Since neither we nor the folks at Engadget (I'm guessing) can be completely trusted with our French translation, we have relatively few details to confirm. We can tell you the company is launching a new flash player, the 2GB 105, as well as a revamped PVP line, including the 405, the 705, and the 605 WiFi.

Update: We just spoke with one of our New York editors who attended the US announcement, and he told us something pretty exciting: The new 605 WiFi is going to have onboard support for CinemaNow, meaning you can purchase and download movies on the go without connecting to a computer. That player will also support Opera with Flash video, so you will never be without fresh video content from sites like YouTube. Um...sweet! (Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the iPhone can do that.)
