PC Magazine have published a review of the Archos 3Cam Vision multimedia player. 'A good-looking device measuring 3.9 by 2.1 by 0.4 inches (HWD) and weighing 2.3 ounces, the Archos 3cam vision has rounded edges and no physical controls save for a Power/Lock slider on the bottom panel. There's a touch-sensitive backward-navigation button beneath the 2.2-inch touch screen, but there are no physical buttons for volume control, which might be an annoyance for some. The 3cam vision features a slightly higher-resolution screen (400 by 240 pixels) than the iPod nano's (376 by 240), but the Archos player has a larger 3-inch display (versus 2.2 inches), so it looks less sharp than the nano's. Compared with the iPod touch's ($199 direct, ) 3.5-inch LCD, the Archos screen is inferior, both in terms of resolution and sensitivity--but the iPod touch is twice as expensive.'
