> Had nothing but trouble with my Archos Gmini. Archos you are dead to me!
What kind of "trouble"? I'm on my third generation of Archos products and I've loved every one of them. They've slowly worked the OS bugs out and improved their fit-and-finish as well. Other than the Lion battery starting to crap out after a year+ of heavy use, my Gmini 400 is as sharp as the day I bought it.
Their lead in being ahead of the curve has dwindled as of late, they need a device in the Gmini400/iPod form-factor with a bigger screen, better battery life (removable too) and also WiFi capabilites. And they need to do it at a better price and earlier than Apple, as they've been consistently doing for many years. The PMP market is expanding though, they have many competitors now.
Long live Archos, (underground) king of PMP's and MP3 players! Down with forced corporate-friendly proprietary software.....
