Same size as an iPOD, 160gr, 2.2" colour LCD, battery that will last for 10h in music playback and 5h in video playback mode, 20Gb HDD (and possibly 60Gb later), price of 300-400 Euros...This Gmini400 has the same video functionalities as the AV400 (except for the recording probably), so Mpeg4 Simple Profile with DVD resolution and MP3 sound. It has TV Output. So this device will attack the Nintendo Ds and the Sony PSP, as it also has Mophun games capabilities."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/1004543_zo.jpg" /><br /><br />This new Gmini 400 comes with a 2.2" screen and is capable of playing videos as well as viewing JPEG files.

I doubt that Archos is going to make any dent in Nintendo's market share.

yeah...and i already have my name down for a psp...


whats the point though...300-400 euros= what the AV400 cost here anyway...only you get a smaller screen, no tv recording and i dont see a CF slot...
