Fresh from delivering us its giant 704 WiFi portable PVR, Archos has now switched tack entirely and produced a tiny 20GB MP3 player.

Packing nearly an iPod's worth of tunes into a 59x76mm body that's just 17mm thick it also manages a 1.8in colour display.

Don't expect to watch any movies but it will happily flick through your snaps and give you a blast of album art while you listen.

MP3, WMA and protected WMA compatibility makes it music store friendly (except the Apple variety, of course) and it fills up via USB cable, which also tops up the battery cells. They'll last up to a healthy 20 hours in one stretch.

You can pre-order now and the Euros price ticket converts nicely to a very tempting £136.
