Archos Gmini XS 200 - MP3 Player

Archos has created a device that's the size of an iPod Mini, but with the capacity of a full size iPod. But can the Gmini XS 200 convince buyers that Apples are not the only fruit?

It’s impossible not to like the Archos Gmini XS 200. Despite it’s slightly clumsy navigation and lack of carry case and docking cradle, this is a fantastic little digital audio player at a truly amazing price. For the cost of a 4GB Apple iPod Mini, you...

Archos Gmini XS200 review

CNET takes a look at the world's smallest 20GB MP3 player (retailing for $249), the Archos Gmini XS200, and finds that while it has good sound and may be have a lot of storage capacity for its size, it has a weak interface and design, average battery...

Gmini XS 200 512MB Mp3 Player

After toying with color MP3 players, I found that turning on the Archos Gmini's monochrome display was like watching Saturday morning cartoons on a black-and-white television. Then again, the sleek battleship-gray Gmini XS200 is about one-third...

If you're economical and you care more about how Green Day or the Moody Blues sound than about how their song titles look on a color display, the Archos Gmini XS200 will satisfy your aural fixations

Archos Gmini XS200

This is a fine, affordable digital audio player with minimal features but giant-killing performance.

Small. Lightweight. Good overall performance.

Some EQ settings unusable. No belt clip or pouch. No lossless compression.

Performance

Archos Gmini 120 (20GB)

Excellent sound quality; records directly to MP3 via the line-in jack, the S/PDIF port, or the built-in microphone; CompactFlash slot for photos from digital cameras; on-the-fly and standard playlists; healthy battery life.

Heavy and bulky; voice recording and photo-wallet functionality require downloaded plug-ins; no built-in radio; no photo display; so-so Mac support.

This MP3 player is heavy on features, but it's also just plain heavy.
