Archos 2 8GB

Has hitting a budget price overly compromised the Archos 2?

I can say the same about the Archos 2's GUI. While primarily text-based, it makes selective use of animated icons and colour. It's quick to start up, snappy in use and relatively easy to navigate. The forward/backward buttons on the left scroll up and...

Archos 2 8GB review

The Archos 2 is the cheapest 8GB portable audio and video player that we've seen.

Archos 2 may be very cheap, but the poor screen, annoying controls and muffled sound make it impossible to recommend.

Archos 2 review

A dirt cheap MP3 player, but with a UI to match.

Low price and extra space

Awful UI and tiny 1.8-inch screen

Archos 2

The Archos 2 is a budget portable media player which doesn't skimp on the boot space, with 8GB of flash storage to play back music, and video and photos via a 1.8-inch LCD screen. There's also an FM radio and a microSD slot to load up on even more...

Archos almost nailed the hardware here: the Archos 2 is petite and pretty. It's just a shame about the shocking screen and awful menu system. Still, if you're only about listening to music however and don't care for regular podcast updates and the...

Ok if you like that kinda thing

For the price of 108 dollars you could buy two Chicom tablets that will out preform this mini "tablet" any day. Lucky for me I purchased mine for half this price to use as an mp3 player so I wasn't out too much cash. This would make a great gift for a...

Small... That's about it.

1) The touch screen sucks (use of a stylus helps) 2) No google app store just a weak ARCHOS version(Side load another app store to fix that) 3) Battery life is bad 4) No memory expansion 5)Price (NOT WORTH $100)

Not Very Good

I was looking at the other reviews, which led me to purchase this. I must have a bad unit. This thing will not stay connected to a network for even 30 seconds (no really... 30 seconds). As far as I am concerned, it is going in the trash. I do not think...

Nice Device

My iPod touch was stolen, and was way more than I needed. I really only wanted PDA functions - email, calendar, notes, and this is just right for that. The resistive screen is not as cool as the capacitive screen, battery life isn't great and I wish it...
