Title: Latest Linux Based Archos?
Post by: Antikx on January 08, 2007, 08:57:16 am

Is the "ARCHOS 604 WiFi" the newest Archos device that runs on Linux?
If not then what is?
Thanks.

Antikx,

1) the unit you are talking abou is quite new, so no many people has it

2) archos, after the AV400, has always locked their products, so hacking them is very difficult, and given the small user base, it's rare to find a kernel hacker get one of those

3) in the case of this unit, I guess most people just look for the functionality it provides, nothing else: a pvr

So I guess it's not a dumb question, but nobody really knows ...

HTH
