The Archos 3 offers excellent performance, but is marred by a shocking UI and mixed format support.
Unfortunately, things start to go awry when we come to the touchscreen – and the user-interface in general. The Archos 3’s resistive touchscreen isn’t exactly bad, but it can take a bit of prodding before it acts, and some basic functions – including...

Archos takes another run at the iPod nano, by adding in video and stills capture
Expert review by : What Hi-Fi? (whathifi.com)
This Archos certainly has potential, but the poor useability of its interface means we really can't recommend it
Minimalist design ; abundance of functions ; FM radio recording and FM transmitter are smart additions
Feels flimsy ; very poor interface, tricky to navigate ; so-so performance
We find it hard to look past the disastrous interface – if you can, there are some neat functions here

It wasn't so long ago that personal media players were restricted to playing just MP3 tracks. Now such a device needs to offer music, video, recording and photographic capabilities.
A recent addition to the Archos range of personal multimedia players is the company’s MP4 device entitled 3cam Vision. This unit arrives with 8GB of storage for holding music, video, pictures and other content. This is a small device measuring 97 x 52...

If at this stage you are still wondering just exactly why the Archos is called the 3cam vision allow me to explain, at the bottom of the back of the device sits a VGA camera capable of both stills and video recording, promising as it sounds the...

Expert review by : electricpig (electricpig.co.uk)
A great iPod nano alternative with the features to match
Great file support, killer looks, excellent sound quality and gorgeous screen
Touchscreen could be better, no SD slot, volume controls awkward
Expert review by (channel5.com)
The Archos 3 Vision comes packing a bit more than the last portable media player from the company we had a play with, the Archos 2: this time we're talking a sharp 400x240 3-inch screen, 8GB of storage, oodles of file support, including lossles FLAC,...
Don't buy in to the whole "iPod + iTunes" ecosystem lark? That's cool. With the Archos 3 Vision you'll still get a great little media player that destroys the iPod nano when it comes to video. You'll find yourself prodding the display a bit too often,...
