Archos Gmini 402 Camcorder (20GB) Review

The good: The Archos Gmini 402 Camcorder boasts a sleek, intuitive design, a sharp LCD; an integrated camcorder and still camera; and support for DRM-protected media. It offers the choice of transferring files via Windows Media Player or Windows Explorer (great for Mac users). Finally, the media juggernaut features voice and line-in recording, as well as support for Mophun-engine games.

The bad: The Archos Gmini 402 Camcorder is heavy for its size, and its hard drive maxes out at 20GB. It doesn't have line-in video recording or a built-in speaker, and the highest volume setting could be louder. Also, the Gmini 402 Camcorder cannot multitask (that is, no background music for photo slide shows), and it has no levels meter for audio recordings.

The bottom line: The Archos Gmini 402 Camcorder looks more attractive than ever, now that it's added a camcorder and a still camera to its long list of music and video features.
