Review by Windows A to Z!
Archos has been long-known for its MP3 players, which are very nice. Archos has also gotten into the personal handheld video players. The Gmini 402 has even more features than the previous model. It still includes Windows Media/MP3 audio and video playback, voice and in-line recording options, photo storage, and gaming via the Mophun engine. The Gmini 402 now supports the playback of DRM-protected audio and video files. The 402 does have its flaws too, such as
mediocre battery life and limited viewing angles.
Review by ZDNet
Archos makes a great personal video player (PVP) even better with the Gmini 402, an impressive update–if not a wholesale revision–to last year’s top-notch Gmini400. Just like its predecessor, the 402 packs in plenty of features, such as video and MP3/WMA playback, photo storage and image viewing, voice and in-line recording, and gaming via the popular Mophun engine. But this time, we also get support for Windows Media Player syncing, including DRM-protected music and video. However, the 402 isn’t without its problems: It’s saddled with poor viewing angles on its otherwise gorgeous 2.2-inch LCD, so-so battery life, less-than-stellar volume, and lack of direct video recording, but considering the Gmini is nearly small enough to fit in a jeans pocket, we’re still duly impressed.
