  DENVER, CO, Jul 22 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
ARCHOS announced today the availability of its GPS In-Car Holder, turning
the award-winning ARCHOS 605 WiFi PMP into a complete navigation system.
With more than 50 times the hard drive size, twice the screen resolution,
and similar pricing as stand-alone GPS navigation products, the ARCHOS
605 GPS is the ultimate navigation and entertainment device. The GPS
In-Car Holder is available today at www.archos.com.

    Combining GPS and Entertainment in a Pocket-Sized Media Player

    The ARCHOS 605 WiFi snaps easily into the GPS In-Car Holder, which is
connected to the car windshield and stereo (via the built-in line out),
creating a full voice and video navigation system. Unlike any GPS device
on the market, consumers can easily navigate their way on the crystal
clear 4.3" LCD touch-screen, and then enjoy their favorite recorded TV
shows, listen to music, surf the Web, stream videos, check email and more
once they arrive.

    "Our focus at ARCHOS is bringing rich mobile experiences to our consumers
with innovative devices, features and accessories that make life on the go
more convenient and entertaining," said Henri Crohas, ARCHOS founder and
CEO. "With the availability of our GPS In-Car Holder, we are turning our
flagship ARCHOS 605 WiFi PMP into a full-featured navigation system that
will get you to your destination with ease and provide instant
entertainment once you arrive."

    The ARCHOS GPS In-Car Holder is compatible with all 605 WiFi models and
provides complete, easy to read Tele Atlas maps that cover both the U.S.
and Canada. Consumers have many options to quickly select guidance to
their destinations with the intuitive address, zip-code and POI (point of
interest) markers. Several other features include automated simulation
inside tunnels, lane assistance, advance street signs, fast route
recalculation and planning, speed control and voice prompted directions
through the ARCHOS 605 WiFi amplified built-in speaker.

    Pricing and Specifications

    The ARCHOS GPS In-Car Holder is available for $129.99 and is compatible
with any ARCHOS 605 WiFi model (4 GB*, 30 GB*, 80 GB* and 160 GB*). The
GPS In-Car Holder is available at www.archos.com and at select retailers.
