This version supports YouTube, WiFi, USB connections and it comes with a battery that provides 7 hours of video playback and up to 44 hours of music with a single full charge. Both models are based on Android and they use ARM 9 processors @ 600 MHz. Expect Archos 7 to debut in April, while Archos 8 will hit the market in May.
