French manufacturer Archos has been bitten by the budget bug lately. Despite the premium Internet tablets (e.g. Archos 5), the company has been keen on flooding the market with cheap mini-PMPs. The Archos Clipper, Vision 2 and Vision 3 have all come out this year to a pretty much disinterested public. And now they are [...]

It [...]

French PMP manufacturer Archos has an iPod Shuffle competitor. It’s really just a screenless DAP with buttons and an unbelievable 11 hours of playback for a full charge. The Archos Clipper will set you back 35 euros for the 2GB. Right now the Archos Clipper doesn’t sound like much more than another option for those [...]

The French PMP manufacturer Archos has been having a binge of new releases lately, and they’re not stopping just yet. The Archos 2 Vision has been hinted upon recently and now it’s out in the flesh. It looks special at least, compared to the too-regular Archos 2. It’s a 2-inch player with a touch-sensitive slide [...]
