I’m not sure Archos can get away with adding “er” to a product that is not only the same, but in the same sub category without getting a call from SanDisk’s lawyers.

Archos Clipper follows the same screenless path as the Samsung Pebble or the Creative Zen Stone , but offers a clip just like, well… the Sansa Clip . The Archos Clipper sells for around $30 and comes in a 2GB capacity. [ My Memory ]

Streaming music service Spotify is preparing to launch an iPhone app , says the BBC. The title is currently waiting for approval from Apple, and permits premium (paid) subscribers to stream Spotify playlists away from a desktop. A notable difference in the mobile client is the ability to temporarily store a playlist, allowing for offline listening. The app is set to be free download, but will be unusable without a premium Spotify subscription, which costs ?10 per month in the UK. The desktop service is currently only accessible from a European IP address; an American version is scheduled to launch before the end of the year. Aside from enabling the mobile app, a premium subscription removes unwanted advertising.

Along with the FiiO PS1110 portable speaker I reviewed last week I also got a FiiO S3 portable speaker. While the PS1110 is exclusively a portable speaker, the S3 steps up the game and adds an integrated MP3 player that plays off SD(HC) cards.

JVC has announced the upcoming release of two mini-systems, the NX-TC3 and NX-TC5 . Both sport a 4.3-inch touchscreen, which can display photos or videos from a connected USB thumb drive. Each is also equipped with an iPod dock, a CD player and an AM/FM tuner, supplemented by 512MB of internal memory, to which music can be ripped. Only the TC5 can rip music to an external USB device however, or load MiniDiscs. Other common features include 1Seg and WMV video playback, as well as compatibility with JPEG images and MP3, WMA and WAV music. A user’s photos can be turned into slideshows or wallpaper. On the TC5, a motion sensor opens the faceplate to reveal the optical drive slot. Included remotes can perform basic operation of connected iPods, including Nanos, Classics, Minis and Touches. The iPhone is not supported. Ripped music can be saved in MP3 or WMA format, with options for high, medium, or low quality to preserve storage space. CDs are ripped at 4x speeds. A built-in amplifier provides 15W to each speaker. Due to ship in Japan on July 27th, the NX-TC5 costs the equivalent of $655, while the NC-TC3 is priced at $550. Either will be available in black or white.
