Archos 2 Vision details finally emerge
comment: 5 | Friday, August 07 (2009) 04:17PM | Posted by Michael
Archos was a bit skimpy when it came to details about their newest line of DAP's. All I was able to gather from the French sites covering the conference was that the Archos 2 Vision was a "slider version of the Archos 2". Now that I see the player, that description actually makes sense. The Archos 2 Vision has a touch-sensitive horizontal slider on the front that's used to scroll through your music, as well as control the volume. Other than that, it's a pretty basic player. Check out the spec list below:

Features

  • Capacity: 8 and 16GB plus microSD slot
  • Display: 2.0" (220x176)
  • Audio: MP3, and WMA
  • Video: AVI (transcoding required)
  • FM Tuner and Recorder
  • Battery life: 10 hours for audio, 4 for video
  • Dimensions: 82mm x 44mm x 9mm


Will Archos ever realize 10 hours of battery life just doesn't cut it anymore? At least you're not paying too much for it. The 8GB model wilt retail for 60 Euros, and the 16GB for 99 Euros. You can expect similar prices for the US market.

Didn't Creative have a horizontal touch slide strip an age back? Actually all vertical as I look back, but still.

10 hour audio battery life? WTF? I think all my players get at least 13 hours. Even the 605 I have gets 15+ hours easy

I kind of like the design, and the interface looks alright too. But that's about it.
