Archos Released New Widgets And Games
Last week, Archos finally released the promised widgets pack for the 605 and the 705 PMP players. All you have to do is to download the widgets for free from Archos web site or threw your Archos WiFi connection. Most of the new plugs are designed for the Opera web browser plugin (which costs 30$), but there are some extra flash plugins, available in the Opera web site, and can be used without the browser.
In addition, Archos revealed 8 new, flash based games, divided to 2 packs of 4, with the price tag of 10$ each. We find those games to be unattractive (except the Poker), specially with the fact that you can find many of those available for free.

PictoBrowser Widget
PictoBrowser is a simple and cool web application that allows to browse, display and embed pictures into your personal web-site or blog.
There are many picture widgets out there, that allow you to put pictures into your page or blog, some of them even gives the option to create slides or to edit in between the pictures, but PictoBrowser widget is a small and simple feature, with a nice and friendly interface.
Based on your Flickr account (and if you still don’t have one, maybe you should), all you need to do is to click the info button on the bottom, write your Flickr username, choose one of the sets from your pictures database, get the code, and voila - the pictures are been presented in your page in a very nice way.
