Archos back to the basics: Archos 2

Archos 2 the Minimalistic MP3 player

I am not quite sure how bad they had to go for Archos to launch this simple music player and video.

Archos 2 is a simple player, a low-end, compatible with MP3, WMA, WAV, AVI videos and JPEG images. With capacities of 8GB and 16GB but with the possibility of extending the microSDHC memory card, it is lightweight, only weighs 50 grams and it’s 9 mm thick, enough to put it in your pocket and forget about it.

Its screen is 1.8 inches, with built-in microphone for recording voice memos and a battery that gives around 12 hours with audio, if recording video the battery drops dramatically to 4 hours.

The 16GB Archos 2 is available in Germany for € 68.50

Simple, yes, but it covers 80% of needs in a player.
