Archos Gmini XS202

 

Those looking for a compact, no-nonsense WMA player should check out the feature-light yet affordable Archos Gmini XS202.

Supports protected WMA files ; Compact and easy to use ; Improved battery performance ; Bargain price

Drab appearance ; Still no FM radio or voice recorder

With decent headphones, the Archos Gmini XS202 sounds fantastic and gets loud enough to handle the noisiest environments. Although the XS202's average transfer speed of 5.29MB per second is somewhat less impressive than the XS200's 10.19MB per second,...

The Thinking Person's MP3 Player

 

Smallest 20GB player, no software required: mass storage/drag and drop, huge screen/unit ratio

Ignorant/apathetic tech support, bad firmware update documentation, firmware not regressable. Joystick is awkward
