Ready To Connect
We’re serious when we talk about mobility and connectivity.
As with other ARCHOS products, the ARCHOS 10 will allow a 24/7 connection with its built-in WiFi and its USB-enabling 3G-ready capacities. And since Internet is likely to be the number ONE reason for you to buy a Mini-PC, we decided it was important that you could do it right out of the box. Microsoft™ Internet Explorer is included of course, and with it you can access 100% of the planet’s web sites, bookmark your favorite pages, and read all the RSS feeds directly from your browser.

Surf safe
You can do all of this safely with the virus protection we’ve selected for you. BitDefender™ Antivirus 2009 provides advanced proactive protection against viruses, spyware, phishing attacks and identity theft, without slowing down your PC. You will be safe to download, share and open files from friends, family, co-workers, and even total strangers. You can also confidently purchase on any e-commerce site. Your identity, bank identification and certificates are protected from “phishing”. Phishing is identity theft on the Internet, today’s number one threat. Bitdefender™ will let you surf and buy in complete safety.
Since your trust is of the utmost importance to us, we are obliged to uphold it. You’ve got 6 month of free use to decide if indeed it protection you are looking for.
Share, Chat, Talk
If you already have a computer, or if the Internet has become so appealing to you that you need to buy your first machine, then Social Networking, Chatting, and other web 2.0 web sites are out there waiting for you. It’s about sharing and be connected to people.
The ARCHOS 10 will just let you do that. With SKYPE™ already installed, all you have to do is log in to your existing account, and start talking or chatting with your buddies. SKYPE™ also allows you to SEE the person you’re talking to (if they have a webcam). With the built-in 1.3 megapixel buit-in webcam, you will be seen by them as well. Additionally, SKYPE™ offers you a voice mail system where people can leave you a message, as well as the ability to send SMS messages to portable phones.
And when you feel like writing rather than talking, you can still use SKYPE™ for instant messaging. With emoticons (those little signs that are so useful to express feelings) and editing status, you’re just one click away from your loved ones.
Protect your kids
Your ARCHOS 10 is family friendly. You can feel safe letting your kids use it thanks to Parental Filter™.
Parental Filter is a very powerful parental control solution, and was awarded Best Parental Control application in 2008 by Action Innocence. It’s the only solution that incorporates all aspects of both the computer and Internet use. Using it, you won’t have to worry about all the scary things you see on TV about child protection.

Harmonize your productivity
Whenever you’re using a PC, be it a Mini-PC, Laptop or Desktop, can you really do much without an office productivity suite?
That’s why we’ve selected Lotus® Symphony to let you create documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Lotus Symphony is IBM’s long-standing office tools suite. It is completely compatible with all other standard solutions on the market so that you won’t have to wonder if your documents can be read by your contacts, or if you will be able to open the ones you’ve already received. And it’s free, being an open-source based software (OpenOffice.org Technology). Anything you were doing before, you can do it with Lotus Symphony.
 You’ve got mail
You can manage all your different email accounts with Microsoft™ Outlook Express®, be they IMAP or POP3 accounts. Configuration is easy, and will let you import your mail parameters from a large variety of account servers. Sending and Receiving emails is just a few clicks away.
But all of this would be secondary to you if you weren’t sure you could protect yourself from viruses, junk mails or spyware. Once more, Bitdefender™ is protecting your ARCHOS 10 more than any other solution.
Video on demand
With the ARCHOS Media Club directly accessible from your desktop, one click and you can start choosing your evening movies.

Pick your favorite tune
Music is known to take the largest share of your hard drive’s drive space. With 160 GB of Storage on the ARCHOS 10, you’ll be relieved. It should be enough. But there’s more. Since you probably don’t have all the music you wish, you can listen to it freely on the web. We’ve preselected DEEZER™ to be your number one musical source on the web. It’s free, it’s legal, and it’s lots of fun.
Millions of artist and tunes are accessible there, in just one click. It’s simply impossible you run dry. Pick any name, any style, any track, you’re 99% sure to find it there.

Here comes vTuner™.
With made-for-ARCHOS solutions, you can stream hours of radio music from all around the world. That really comes in handy when you’re travelling and you miss your favorite morning show.
You can find almost talk or music style station from over 11 000 Stations broadcasting on the Web. All available through. easily accessible menus. Pick a genre, a country, or even simply a name, and you got it!
The second great news is that it is totally free.
 Say cheese
Pictures. Like most PC users, you have hundreds if not thousands of photos.
Managing them can be a nightmare, simply because you need to create your own personal library in your photo folders, and searching for them is just not that easy. Not to mention editing them, like removing red-eye from photo flashes, appling various filters, or changing colors.
XnView is provided to you free of charge on your ARCHOS 10. It is an easy to use, very friendly application that can let you manage your photos like a real pro. No need to pay. It’s there. It’s free.
