Into Tech

I already love Archos and I’m not afraid to say that I would love them even more if they would send me a few of their products for Christmas. The noble art of bribing journalists is just not what it used to be.

Meet the Archos Helmet Camcorder – that’s the little thing on the right of the photo that looks like James Bond’s torch/flamethrower. Designed for anyone that does extreme sports, this is possibly the best way to capture the thrill of the moment. Strap it onto your helmet and jump off that cliff, or bridge, or whatever is likely to scare the crap out of you. It’s compatible with most of the Archos portable media players and will cost £100 when it comes out later this month.

It even sports an in-built microphone so that you can relive that moment when your voice broke and you started screaming like a girl.
