Archos Gmini XS202 MP3 player

 

The Archos Gmini XS 202 is one of the smallest MP3 music players with built-in hard disk. The unit comes with 20GB memory space which is enough for you to load 10000 songs onto the device. Yet, the price of the XS 202 is at the same level with other...

Archos Gmini XS 202 is excellent value for money. An MP3 player with 20GB hard disk, easy to use menu system, automatic sync with the Windows Media Player is all that many music fans need. Compared to prices of other similar, same-capacity MP3 players,...

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

Archos Gmini XS 202s (20 GB) MP3 Player

 

Apple did not invent the portable mp3 player. We normally refer neither to Epsons, but to printers, and nor to Microsofts but computers. Archos mp3 players have always beaten Apple (and pretty much everyone else) on value for money and this one is no ...

Good bang for the buck!

 

The Archos Gmini XS 202 seems to have been designed with a simple goal in mind; to make a tiny MP3 jukebox with excellent sound and at an affordable price. The device itself is very small for a 20 GB player. Archos claims that it is the worlds ...

Small, huge capacity, great sound
