9. All This.. And Images Too

Archos has hit a home run with the Gmini 400. First, its ultra-compact and light design renders microdrives obsolete, since the Gmini 400 offers five times more storage capacity with only 50 grams of additional weight.

Indeed, the purchasing decision should be a no-brainer compared to the iPod Mini or Creative's Muvo. The Gmini 400 comes with a sleek design, 20 GB of storage, excellent photo and video playing capabilities, and can also accommodate DivX video files. On top of all this, the player is even a decent game console.

For those primarily seeking a portable audio player, the Gmini 400 more than does the job, with multimedia photo, gaming and video features added. In sum, you get a lot of bang for your 400 bucks.
