CNet has reviewed the Archos Gmini400, confirming my suspicions that it is indeed scientifically awesome. Sure it has some downsides, like a less-than-intuitive interface and no ability to multitask, but a 20GB player the size of the iPod with the ability to play back video and an integrated CompactFlash slot? What’s not to love?
Okay, maybe the sort of crappy battery is not to love, but I kind suspect that CNet flubbed the numbers when they said 10 hours of video and 5 hours of audio playback. I’m hoping they meant 10 and 15. And for once the video is worth watching, if only to watch James Kim spin it around in his hands. (Thanks, Old!)

Update: The Archos site says 5 hours for video, 10 hours for audio. Could be, should be better, but still hot.
