Ho-hum
PROS:
Red looks cool.
Sound quality is not the best above average.
Equalizer.
Light enough to not weigh down shirt pocket.
CONS:
Seems hastily assembled
Sticky touchscreen. Poorly responsive even after many calibration.
Virtual wheel is a good concept but poorly executed.
Who still uses paper decals on mp3's or any gadgets for that matter at this day and age?
Crappy buds.
Power/lock slider switch fragile as a loose deciduous tooth.
First of this is not made to sit among the giants like ZuneHD iPod Touch 2ndG Cowon S9 Samsung P2 or Sony Walkman X Series so i didn't have high expectations when i preordered it last month. After all the old addage has always been true - that you get what you pay for. However receiving it 3 days ago and using it since was a major let down in spite of my consciously lowered expectations. The buds went to my drawer of useless cables. Then i find myself at times jabbing the screen with my finger if only to get it to respond. The virtual wheel takes some getting used to you'll find your screen display seemingly bunjee jumping up and down instead of scrolling smoothly. If you can look past these then you can have a toy that plays decent above average music.
The price has been dropping on this thing in just a matter of days since it's release. I won't be surprised to see it discounted to $50. Archos should have paid more attention to the quality of the 3 Vision especially now that they are getting more aggressive in the market with their new lines of MID 5's and the 9 that's coing out on the 22nd of this month. In fairness to ARCHOS they have a commendable tech support staff(i bought a plug-in from them for my 5).
Take it from this old man who likes to buy these toys. There are better players out there.
