So Genarchos!!!

Advantages: High performance media tablet - Great storage
Disadvantages: I would require a bag to carry it without damage

...storage commodity too far. – Archos doesn’t do this. The technology is the foundation not what the storage facility maybe. Of course he started off dealing with storage and went on into patents that now we portable media savvy know what an Archos brand epitomizes; that is a strong visual display monitor, exciting graphics and much storage that defies the price; let me introduce to you the 6th generation Archos 5. I started out getting into portable ...
...In fact it was a Archos which got me into portable media products, so I guess they will always be a warm place beside my pillow for an Archos product. – Only joking, but you get my drift. – I did a write-up on a 120GB model that was an Archos series 5; at that scored a high 87% which I mainly put down to storage and graphics capabilities. The 60GB is not so much a massive warehouse of storage but seems to cater better in other sectors; the navigation ...

A very good product

Advantages: Space, Screen, OS

...(or its little cousin, the Archos 5), you will be buying the best mp3 player on the market. For now, Archos has way too much control of an mp3 player (they call it an IMT "Internet Media Tablet") I bought from them. This is a good solution for people who have organized their music specifically, and have a big collection, or want to keep the entire running series of The Simpsons on a single player and still have weeks of music. This player is not ...

CIAO Review on the Archos Gmini XS 100 - (light grey model)07/11/2007 Archos Gmini XS100 3GB of Storage* Available RRP - 02/2005 - Archos Introduction - > A short insight into Archos. Archos was an established company in 1988. A storage data 'niche' was found in the market; by which they explored with different types of data components. It wasn't too long when Archos got into portable media players (PMP) and specialised in storage data for entertainment ...
...player 'Archos Gmini XS100'. Archos have been a global leader in portable technologies since the early 1990's. If, you are not aware of Archos; I can state that everyone in the Western world has certainly used their products and technologies on a daily basis. Anyone who has been through an electronic door while on a shopping trip, or had had their credit card scanned or even used a 'touch-screen' monitor for map reading, or purchasing items, have ...

Surf, Stream and Inspire

Advantages: PMP with Internet Media and TV
Disadvantages: A few bugs to beware of and add-ons

...of fresh-air to learn that Archos in August 2008 had finalized their long awaited 6th generation of portable media players. The pioneers of media and entertainment brought us Archos 5 120 GB. Archos also branded the home-coming of the 6th generation of Portable Media Players as a ‘Media Tablet’- Popping/bopping was their core mainstay in their new brand awareness scheme. It was to set-out to capture the ever constant liquid media market that envelopes ...
...in 1988, Archos has been able to re-tune their market know-how by introducing media generation models; allowing the consumer to understand the newness of particular models that fly-in and out of the market. This has been a clever ploy for Archos and their team, to re-shape brand awareness to their media savvy consumers. Now the 6th generation is upon us, it has embarked on a much more able and reliable surfing facility; that their consumer has been ...

Great for music, durable and flexible, not state of the art

Advantages: 20 GB, can be used as external hard drive, good sound quality, great battery life
Disadvantages: old school look, scratches easily

...The gmini as with most archos products can be very different if you are used to other mp3s such as the ipod however once you get your head round it, it is quick and easy to use, although scrolling through thousands of tracks can sometimes be frustrating. The battery life is admirable, although as mine is aging, the life is gradually declining but not noticeably, sound quality is great and 20GB is plenty is you're just using it for music, although ...
...in the past which has been highly convenient. Features - Creating playlists while listening to music is a great feature and also the queue feature which many other makes of mp3 lack is like a godsend for me, browsing and selecting the next tune, while the a song plays. Look - Obviously no colour screen, but it really makes no difference, it's a durable piece of equipment that has a long life span although it is larger than many mp3s today, it can ...
