          Comments about ARCHOS 3 Vision MP3 Player (Red):

          The screen looks nice for video. Unfortunately, it is also it's weakest point. I've owned this for two months, and gone through three units. Every time, the screen cracks and becomes unresponsive to touch. [...] However, I did not expect to be taking advantage of the protection plan every two weeks. Time to get something more durable. I had an Archos 605, and it was industrial strength. Not so with the Archos 3.

              I love Archos, but the version 3 is just to Fragile. It's also react to slow with your touch. The face cover broke while i was changing a song. This is my third device from Archos. I was shock..
