Recently, Archos silently made a new PMP, the Archos 2 available on Amazon, and they leaked some information about another PMP, the Archos 4.  The Archos 2 is available for pre-order on Amazon in the United States, while it is supposedly available on the German Amazon. 

Archos 2 - 8GB and 16GB

The Archos 2 is available in two different models, one being an 8GB model and the other a 16GB model.  The 8GB model is the only one available for pre-order on the American Amazon, while both are available in Germany.  Unfortunately, Archos didn’t add any super amazing features to either of these models, but the price is what may get you to purchase one of these.  Chances are you don’t know many 8GB PMPs that sell for $60, or any 16GB PMPs that sell for $92.  Luckily for you, if you are shopping for some cheap PMPs, these new Archos devices might just be what you are looking for. 

In terms of specs, the 8GB and 16GB models come with 1.8-inch screens, 12 hour audio battery life, 4 hour video battery life, and manages a few formats such as MP3, WMA, WAV, and AVI.  In case you want more storage than 8GB or 16GB, you can opt to purchase a microSD card for additional storage expansion.  As most PMP players these days, it comes with a FM Radio tuner.  The two models will be available in black and white. 

Archos 4 - 16GB and 32GB

The other PMP Archos that has leaked out is the Archos 4.  As you can probably guess, it is named with a 4 to represent its screen size (4 inches).  Other than that, the only other piece of information we know is the models it will be available in, 16GB and 32GB.  Likewise with the Archos 2, I imagine the colors to be either black and white. 

We’ll let you know when and if Archos comes out with a press release regarding these two PMP’s, and when the Archos 4 becomes available.
