Company Information

Brand Information

The Archos name is an anagram for the company founder's surname (Crohas), also the Greek translation for the name Archos (αρχος) means master. The slogan has changed from 'Think Smaller' to 'On The Go'.

The 'Think Smaller' brand was the company's responses to describe the product they are providing - compacting the biggest of features into the smallest of devices. After the launch of the Archos AV700 portable media player, the slogan was seen as inappropriate for the purpose due to its size, so they decided to change this to a more generalistic, suitable slogan, 'On The Go'.

Archos manufactures a variety of products, each briefly explained below:

USB Portable Hard Disk Drives (For connecting to computers and aiding data portability); Portable MP3 Players (Listening to music on the go); Portable Video Player and Recorders (Record from a visual device and play back out and about); Portable Digital Video / Photography Snap-Ins (Turning portable video players into cameras / camcorders); Memory cards (Previously produced, now ceased); Digital Media Player and PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) (Providing feature rich applications on a portable device);
