Nice little player.......2007-01-18

I bought my Gmini 402 about 2 months ago. I love it. I use it to play MP3's, take pictures and shoot videos. It also doubles as a portable hard disk drive. I've found the player to be reliable, the sound quality to be good and the picture quality to be good. The player allows for the creation of playlists and for the export of playlists from your computer to the player. It can be connected to a Windows machine as a windows device or as a hard disk drive. I found it easier to use the device connected to the computer as a hard disk drive. I found the device to be relatively easy to use. I've knocked the player around a few times, but it still keeps playing. The only other device of this type that I ever had was an RCA Lyra which I also liked. I haven't used and IPOD, but from what I have read this device seems to be in many ways superior to an IPOD that would be in the same price range. The creation of playlists could be a little more intuitive, but overall I give this machine 5 thumbs up.

Terrible Quality.......2006-12-13

I recieved my Gmini 402 as a gift a year ago. After only a few months it had already broken (the headphone jack broke). Though I sent it in and had it repaired, when it came back it could now only hold 18.3 gb rather than 20gb! I called customer service (finding the number was an almost impossible feat) and the person on the line dismissed me saying that I didn't know anything and that nothing was wrong.
I find it a difficult gadget to use and it takes a long time to find what you're looking for. The more you have in it, the longer it takes to find the song/album you're looking for. The video screen is just to small to be practical and it only plays files that are supported by Windows Media Player so forget about any RealMedia or Quicktime files you may have.
I would not recomend Archos as a company to buy anything from. And I certainly would not recomend this product to anyone. Period.

The device worked well and was a joy to use. For about two months. It then refused to turn on. I had to send it back to Archos. About a month later I receive a replacement. The replacement had a shoddy D-pad and couldn't recharge. Obviously nobody even checked to see if it worked before sending it to me. Had to send it back. It's been about 5 weeks so far and I have to keep calling, listening to some lady who only works there 2 days a week complain about all the problems they have with the warehouse. I regret this purchase more than anything I've ever bought.

Save money.......2006-06-30

you can save a [...] load of money by buying this from dish netowrk, they call it the pocket dish, but it does the same exact things, the only different thing is that it is dvr compatible, so if you have dish network, you can plug it into you dish dvr and put tv shows in it. its only 150$ over there. thats over 50% cheaper.

Worst product ever purchased.......2006-05-12

After searching around and looking at other reviews of this product I decided it would be an excellent media player. I purchase the product and was very pleased with how the product functioned. After 8 days of casual use the product would not start up past the Archos welcome screen. After 3 attempts at getting the RMA department to get my address information correct for a RMA, I then sent the product in early Jan 2006. After a week I received an email from the service department to notify me that the repair would cost $80 without a proof of purchase (PoP) within a year that it was received my their department. No problem since the product broke after a week of use, so it was well within Archos 1 yr warranty. I first attempted to send the PoP by email to the department without any luck. I then faxed the PoP to the RMA department on four separate dates. Each time I called the RMA department the status of my RMA was still "Waiting on PoP." I was told many times that RMA department manager was looking into the issue and that he would call me back. I began to get sick of hearing that a manager would call me back. After several attempts to actually speak to one of these managers I finally talked to Paul. Paul gave me his email address at Archos so that I could email the PoP directly to him. Paul also explained to me that the Service department had been moved to another location. This was the first time I had heard of this information. He also explained that the Service department had just started shipping out repaired items in the last couple of weeks. This is April now. No wonder the RMA department was never getting my PoP to the Service department. The Service department did not exist at the time. What kind of RMA department has no idea that their Service department is not operational? Also, what kind of company closes their Service department to move it to another location? Archos. So, I start to feel like things are going to be moving. The next time I call the RMA department I find that my product is fixed but has not been shipped out. You would think that their Service department would ship the items they've had their inventory the longest, first. Not Archos. I'm still waiting on my product. That's right its now 11 May 2006. My current status of my RMA is that a Archos RMA department manager is looking into it and will call me back. Do not waste your time with this product.
