Posted in Archos by Conner Flynn on October 12th, 2009

Archos 5 Internet Tablet pulled by Amazon for problemsThe Archos 5 Internet Tablet has been available for just a couple of days, but now Amazon has stopped all orders for the 160GB hard drive-based Archos 5 device, placing the item “under review.”

Amazon says that “customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item”. This is not good news for Archos. However, the 32GB flash-based version is still available for pre-order. Hopefully the issues, whatever they are, can be fixed quickly.

It will cost you $294 for the 16GB version, $370 for the 32GB, $320 for the 160GB and $420 for the 500GB version. Rumor is that the A5 will have 720p video output, but like the Zune HD, you’ll need to buy a dock. The dock for the A5 with DVR functionality is $130.

Archos Clipper released

Posted in Archos by Conner Flynn on July 28th, 2009

Archos Clipper releasedArchos just recently got into the small MP3 player market with the Clipper, which will obviously target the SanDisk Sansa Clip. All they did was add the “er”. Though I don’t think that SanDisk will be bothered much since Apple dominates them both in the portable media player market.

Like the Sansa Clip and Creative Zen Stone, the Archos Clipper has no display and is designed to be clipped onto your belt or pocket. For $30 you’ll get 2GB of storage space, but we’re not sure anyone is interested. Anyone?

archos10The small and compact netbook might make for a good way to watch movies on the go. The big downside is that the average notebook has no optical drive making watching DVD movies impossible. You can download digital films or stream digital content when you are connected online though.

Blockbuster and Archos have announced that the new and slick Archos 10 netbook will be offered for sale in 1,000 corporate owned Blockbuster locations around the country. The netbook will sell for $299.99 and has a 10-inch screen and a keyboard.

Archos 10sArchos has added a new netbook to its range in the form of the Archos 10s. This baby is slim and light measuring only 0.87 inches thick and weighing just 2.2 pounds. But aside from that, the specs remain the same to the original Archos 10.

Those specs are: a 10.2-inch display with 1024 x 600 resolution, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, a 1GB of RAM, a 80GB hard drive, Microsoft Windows XP Home OS and your choice of either three-cell or six-cell battery. The Archos 10s will be available later this month for an unknown price.

Archos 3 PMP with 8GB and “virtual wheel”

Posted in Archos by Conner Flynn on June 11th, 2009

Archos 3 PMP with 8GB and “virtual wheel”The Archos 9 PC Tablet isn’t the only touchscreen product to arrive from Archos today; there’s a much smaller finger-friendly screen on the Archos 3 PMP. A 3-inch touchscreen to be precise along with 8GB of flash memory for up to 4,000 songs. Nice.

It also features Archos’ new UI, a “virtual wheel” selector which supposedly makes navigating straightforward and easy. It’s unclear whether the wheel is an on-screen thing, a translucent overlay, or involves a touch-sensitive button on the lower front panel.

Archos 2 and 4 players leakArchos hasn’t said anything official yet, but there are leaks of the Archos 2 and 4 players, with the Archos 2 listed on Amazon. Don’t expect anything too Earth shattering here. They’re just another alternative to what the company already offers.

For $60 you’ll get 8GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, 1.8″ display at 128 x 160 resolution and voice recording capability. Not bad for the price. The 16GB model will cost you more of course. We don’t know much about the Archos 4. Just that it has a 4″ display and up to 32GB of internal flash memory.

You can also hook it up to digital terrestrial TV tuners and even an external antenna. If your desire is to watch LOST on a small screen, please stop denying yourself and get one. They are available now from Archos for about $100.

ARCHOS 105 Mini Player Comes to the US

Posted in Archos, Media Players by Darrin Olson on September 1st, 2007

Archos 105 mini media playerArchos, maker of a number of cool, higher-end media players, is now bringing its smaller 5th generation Archos 105 to the U.S. adding to the already-high competition present in this mini media player market.

It comes in colors of black, red and silver and in only a single capacity configuration of 2GB. Inside the super-slim 0.3″ frame the player supports playback of MP3, WMA and WAV audio files. What really makes this player is the fact that it also takes advantage of a 1.8” OLED display at 160 x 128 dpi with 262,000 colors to play WMV files so you can take your recorded TV episodes with you. And of course you can view still JPEG’s with it, too.
