MP3 players: Compare features & prices Archos 2 8GB review
This rectangular black music and video player, the Archos 2, is an iPod Nano lookalike, with square edges and buttons to access the functions. A hard disk player, it comes with either 8GB or 16GB of memory, which can be expanded using a Micro SD memory card. It is both very portable and durable, but does this music player deliver the goods?
