Archos 1 Vision Shipping In UK [Archos Releases Cheap PMP, 4GB, Only $40]

Tweet

Yesterday, we covered the cheap $90 Haier PMP, and now, Archos has done one better by releasing their Archos 1 Vision PMP in the United Kingdom. This is simply a no-frills, slimmed down personal media player, offering none of the high-end features that add cost to the other PMPs out there.

The Archos 1 Vision will be targeted as an entry-level gadget, obviously, and comes with a small 1.5″ display, 4GB of flash memory, and the ability to play back a few formats: MP3, WMA, LAC, WAV and APE. Although it has a built in voice recorder, that’s about as far as the feature goes, no FM tuner, no picture viewer, no video viewer, no app store. This gadget is no-frills, and Archos means it.

This PMP is only making an appearance on the right side of the Atlantic, for a low, low cost of £25 (about $41), which makes it about $50 cheaper than the Haier we covered yesterday, but the Haier had a bit more. All other sites covering the Archos 1 Vision expect it to come to the United States, sometime in the future. For the Brits, the Archos 1 vision is now shipping.
