Archos Gmini XS 202

Advantages: Fits into almost any pocket you might have!
Disadvantages: Supplied headphones can be uncomfortable.

...Are you a penniless teen with a desire for a large memory MP3? Well, this could well be the device for you. The Archos Gmini 202 XC MP3 (what a tongue twister!) is very small considering its memory, in fact, I have read that it is the smallest 20Gb MP3 on the market. The case consists of three metal layers: two plates (front and back) and a metal strip which runs round the edge of the device between the plates. The screen is about 3x3cm which I think is a decent size but it cannot display pictures, videos, data files stored, etc. because of its type. The 'DC IN' and USB ports are in the side of the MP3 player and are small enough to not cause any problems (although my key almost got stuck once). The ear/head phone port is on the top, possibly to accommodate for any MP3 cases you may wish to use to protect your player. However, because...

Archos Gmini xs 202s 20GB - crackin wee player!

Advantages: easy to use, quick to find music on, durable
Disadvantages: no neck starp

...I bought this MP3 player after alot of searching and i have so far been completelysatisfied with my decision. Over the past 3 years i have had 4 mp3 players all of which were purchased because they were the biggest memory i could afford at the time! this was a mistake as i ended up spending an absolute fortune when i would run out of space and buy a new one...or get sooo frustrated by the slowness of the hardware that my sanity would not allow me to keep it any longer! The archos Gmini has more than enough storage for music and also any documents etc u might want to store. It is incredibly easy to use, so much so that i never had any need to look at the instructions! music is sorted into folders by artist and album so any song is easy to find at any time! The battery lasts really well on it and even when it goes down to 1 or 2 bars...

Review of Archos Gmini XS100 4 GB

Archos' tiny mp3 player packs a punch.

Advantages: Small, cheap, robust, 20GB!
Disadvantages: Average sound quality

...The Gmini XS 202. It just sounds cool. But that's not why I bought it. Nope, I bought it because it was the only 20GB mp3 player on the shelf, at the time, that was within my budget (it cost me £168). At the time, I hadn't even heard of Archos, nevermind the Gmini XS 202 that I would soon find myself buying. But now that I've done a bit of research, I can see that Archos are slowly rising in the mp3 player market. They've released a wide range of products from flash memory to large hard drive mp3 players; and colour screens with video capability (but you won't get that with the Gmini XS 202). But back to the Gmini XS 202. Sound quality isn't great. And to be perfectly honest, I believe its the one area where it does let you down. There is a noticeable difference in sound quality between the Gmini and an Ipod. It's not rubbish...

Archos Gmini402 review

Advantages: Good quality, looks nice, easy to use, value for money!
Disadvantages: Screen can get scratched easily

...As a previous customer to Archos (i have brought the Gmini400) I was keen to try out their new product. Gmini402 is a device that plays videos, music, and you can view photos, it is small, stylish, and can fit easily into a pocket. The Gmini is very simple to use, there is no installation required, you simply plug it into your computer (via usb 2.0) and it appears as external hard drive, you can then simply drag and drop songs, videos and photos onto the device. Unplug it, and they appear. It is much less complicated than using I-Tunes or any other similar software. The sound quality is great, and there is an equaliser should you want to change the settings. The video quality is outstanding, when you get the device out of the box, it comes with an amazing tropical video that just looks breathtaking the vivid colours really stand...
