B&H photos just leaked the next generation of Archos portable media
players.
Unbelievably, the rumors of a 500GB version is
true! This is already
tempting (especially the price at $420). Just waiting for specs on
September
15, the Archos event. I really hope it will
support NTFS so I can use the
compression feature.
It would be really cool and convenient to have an offline copy of
Wikipedia
anywhere I go without the need of Wi-Fi. What am
I gonna do with 500GB?
BTW, does anyone know what is the size of the current static HTML English
Wikipedia version uncompressed? Thanks.
I don't think a static dump is the best way to keep wikipedia on your hd.

It is the only way actually. Although I'm curious on what other ways one
can use to keep Wikipedia
Archos PMPs are not computers, but they do have the ability to go on the
Internet, and read an HTML file offline through the hard drive.
