The 8GB 32 can easily be found for just under £100 which makes it significantly cheaper than Apple’s £130 iPod Nano or Samsung’s £150 Galaxy Player 50. If you can live without DRM support and storage expansion then the 32 has a lot going for it: codec...

The Archos 32 certainly does the company's reputation justice, and though these sorts of features may not be restricted only to high-end mobiles for much longer, this sort of 'cut-down' approach didn't do Apple any harm with its iPod Touch. The Android...

Archos has been making portable media players for a while and, as the likes of the Archos 5 showed, the company knows a thing or two about making a good one. Which is why despite being a touchscreen media player running a mobile OS initially designed for...
As experience has shown, Android wasn't built for tablets, so it's fortunate that the Archos 32 Internet Tablet is a tablet in name only. As an iPod touch-like media player, it falls short of Apple's level of slickness, but its excellent format support, a...

With there now being five (oh yes, five!) Archos Android Internet Tablets on the market, it's understandably hard to keep 'em all straight, but in our minds the 32 is easy to separate from the rest – it, along with the 28, is more of an Android PMP than a...
