The executive chairman of Archos himself, Henri Crohas, has taken it upon himself to unveil the revamped line of Archos media players. Archos have been hard at work developing three new players:
- Archos Clipper
- Archos Vision 2
- Archos Vision 3
The Archos Vision 2 and Archos Clipper are considerably smaller than the rest of their counterparts. Nonetheless, the players offer a trendy and unique design which will be appeal to the masses. Unfortunately, there was no prototype available of either of these players.
As depicted above, the Archos 3 is considerably larger yet fits nice and snug in the palm of a hand. Similarly to the Clipper and Vision 2, the Vision 3 offers a trendy and unique design but is additionally lightweight in its size-to-weight ratio.
Admittedly, the user-interface is rather simple; do not expect all the bells and whistles.
The Vision 3 uses a touch wheel to navigate the screen. Unfortunately the wheel is quite small and rather difficult to utilize especially for precision navigation.
ArchosLounge is reporting that Archos is extending its range of players with additional larger sizes (greater than 3 inches). We guess that this will depend on the success of the aforementioned players.
The infamous 5 and 7 series of Archos media players will now be revamped and make up Archos’ new line of Internet tablets.
Stay tuned…
