the 605 and 705 have the same 800x480 resolution
in fact if you have really good vision you might instead notice the 705 has lower color count

I wish I could see the Archos live before buying, but unfortunately haven't seen the 605 in any stores near me. Am I right that the 705 is scheduled for release sometime this week?
I've never found anyone happy with PDF on the small screen.

Either they complain about constant side to side scrolling or they complain how it gets chopped up for a top to bottom reading. So far I have yet to find a solution that works for all tastes. My thought here is that there will always be "something" missing.

by JonTitor - 11/12/07 7:31 AM In reply to: res by jeffismewell I've seen them on display at J&R and Circuit City
the 705 is supposed to be out on the 16th
the LifeDrive is HVGA (320x480) 3.9"
the 605 has .4" larger screen but more important more than twice as many pixels
also, R. Proffit, about the side scrolling, whether WVGA is enough to prevent side scrolling is based on the PDF itself, but going from the 605 to 705 shouldn't make the difference since they have the same resolution and software. Now I suppose you mean neither are good enough but there's really isn't anything better until we look at those more expensive UMPCs that have a 1024x600 res.
not for pdf
