Opera Completes ARCHOS Portable Video Player

The Opera browser will be included on ARCHOS' new WiFi enabled Pocket Media Assistant PMA400. The PMA400 will be the first portable video player to include full Internet access with the Opera browser.

The Pocket Media Assistant is the first Linux-based 30GB portable video player and recorder, which allows consumers to record directly from the TV, listen to music, browse the Internet and stay connected, for entertainment or productivity anytime, anywhere. With integration of the Opera browser, users can enjoy full Internet access while on the move, making the PMA400 the most versatile portable video player and recorder on the market.

The PMA400 continues the ARCHOS tradition of letting consumers record video directly from a TV, VCR, cable box or satellite receiver, schedule recordings, record and play music, view photos and play games in multiple ways. It also features several ways to connect to the Internet -wirelessly or via Ethernet- personal information manager applications, an LCD touch screen for fast and easy navigation, a 30 gigabyte Hitachi hard drive, and the ability to act as a USB Host for attaching other mass storage peripherals, such as digital cameras, keyboards, hard drives and other portable devices. The new Linux platform allows for customized applications to be specifically developed for the PMA400.

The PMA400 will start shipping in January 2005.
