A worthy Ipod Competitor

I was really psyched to know that ARCHOS was realeasing a 2.3 inch, 3.2inch, 4.3 inch, 70inch and a 101 inch tablet packed with features at super affordable prices but now i hear they're also refreshing the vision line with newer and sexier portable media players.

This one here is the Archos 35 vision featuring a 3.5inch screen  with HDMI output, FULL HD playback, 8gb with a microSD slot and 4 hours of video playback. To add to that, it plays almost every video format there is.



The best part is that it costs only 99euros or $129. 
That's just P5,800. 





The new ipod touch costs $229 or a little over P10,000. 
The catch is ofcourse, the ipod has wifi, 300,000+ apps and a camera.
What the Archos has over the Ipod's ofcourse is it's compatibility with just about any video format available.


Summary of the iPod Touch competitors to be on the market:

Archos 24 Vision (4GB) for $59 MSRP, mostly just for audio and basic video stuff, no touch screen
Archos 3 Vision (8GB) for $79 MSRP older video playback, no HD/HDMI, no Android/WiFi/Bluetooth/USB-host stuff
Archos 28 Internet Tablet (4GB) for $99 MSRP has a smaller screen, no HD playback, no HDMI output.
Archos 35 Vision (8GB, microsd) for $129 MSRP has 3.5″ touch screen, 720p/HDMI, but no Android/WiFi/Bluetooth/USB-host/camcorder stuff.
Archos 43 Vision (8GB, microsd) for $129 MSRP has 4.3″ touch screen, basic video playback
Archos 50 Vision (probably starts around $149) has 5″ touch screen, 720p/HDMI, 250GB/500GB hard drive and microsd storage
Archos 32 Internet Tablet (8GB) for $149 MSRP has a slightly smaller screen, no HD playback, no HDMI output.
Archos 43 Internet Tablet (16GB, microsd) for $249 MSRP Android and has all HD/HDMI/HD camcorder features

Also rumored:
Archos 32 Internet Tablet (8GB) with MicroSD slot instead of second set of volume buttons, possibly to replace current A32IT
Archos 35 Internet Tablet (8GB) possibly with capacitive amoled screen
