Massive storage space, smaller than the iPod, sounds great, looks great, easy to use.


Bad Points

Standard headphones are rubbish, won't recognise music files ripped through iTunes.


General Comments

I bought the Archos Gmini XS 200 a couple of weeks ago and (after upgrading my usb host) have been copying over my cds and mp3 files non-stop.

The compatibility with iTunes, windows media player etc, leaves a lot to be desired, but after a little bit of messing around I managed to figure out the best and quickest way of transferring files over (drag and drop through windows).

The headphones are a bit shoddy but I can live with them until I've managed to save enough pennies to upgrade to something better.

The fact that it also doubles as an external hard drive adds to the versatility of this little machine and I'm sure I'll be kept entertained by the Gmini for months, if not years to come.
