Comments on: Archos takes on iPod Mini

The company touts its own tiny player with a 20GB hard drive, joining a host of others aiming to take a bite out of Apple.

hey molly...

why do you hate apple so much? i mean, you really sounded
mad that the ipod is so dominant yesterday, and today you have
this article. why are you promoting all of these ipod 'killers'? i
could understand if the ipod was a bad product, but it's not.

if you hate the market being dominated by one product, where's
the 'windows killer' articles?

answer here on a public forum please...

Start-Up???

How did Archos get to be called a start-up? The company has been around for more than 15 years and has been making hard drive based MP3 players for about 4 years. I have had an Archos Jukebox Recorder for a few years now. They've even had hand held digital video recorders since 2002. The current models will hold up to 400 hours of video in the palm of your hand.

Archos VS iPod Mini

You called Archos a startup company that was trying to catch up with Apple, you couldn't be further from reality. The fact is that Archos invented the portable MP3 player, they were the first company to put a hard drive in an MP3 player, the first to have a photo MP3 player, the first to have a video MP3 player, the first to have a touch screen MP3 player and the first to have a Wifi MP3 player.

The only thing that Apple has done in the MP3 player industry has been to advertise massively, they have not innovated a single technological advance. Not a singe one.
