Archos 3 Vision Portable Media Player: Great Alternative to Apple iPod Touch, iPod Classic and iPod Nano

Date Published: March 21, 2010


With Archos 3 Vision portable media player, Archos has created a low-priced portable music and video player that offers a lot more features than the low-priced iPod Nano 4th generation, and a very good alternative to iPod Touch and iPod Classic if you’re looking for cheap a portable media player. The Archos 3 Vision portable media player has a low price as well and can be yours for as low as 79.20 British Pounds (shipping fee included). That’s less than $120 to obtain a high-tech mobile MP3/MP4 player with 8GB of built-in storage.

Despite its low price point, the Archos 3 Vision is, in my opinion, a better buy than the iPod or Samsung YP-R1. The Archos 3 comes with a larger 3-inch 16:9 wide format touch screen display. It looks great aesthetics-wise and it is available in different colors. From the front, The Archos 3 Vision looks a little bit like the iPod Touch mainly because the glass display panel covers all the front area. While the display isn’t as bright as that of other portable media players, the 400 x 240 pixel of the Archos 3 Vision offers vibrant colors especially when watching movies on it. Though we like Zune HD portable media player better (see technical specs, features and price in our past articles), we can only recommend you get Zune HD PMP over Archos 3 Vision if you have some extra cash to spend on media players. A review of Archos 3 Vision will be published a little later.
