So I almost missed this catch on DAPreview (because there was no pretty picture and I can barely decipher), but apparently Archos is coming out with a new version of their often- and sadly-overlooked Gmini hard disk player, now called the Gmini 400. The original Gmini [pictured] was a solid device, but had only a black-and-white screen – something that just didn’t quite cut the mustard for many people who would have otherwise purchased it as a photo-storing device. Fortunately, it looks like the new model will have a color screen (a nice 262k color one, too), as well as do all the other good stuff like play video, MP3s, record its FM stereo, and of course, copy images from Compact Flash cards to its internal 20GB hard drive.
And at around $480 (probably less when/if it hits the United States), it’s not a horrible price, either. I expect good things from this one – it fixes all the failings of the first Gmini by a yard.
