Archos adds video to the mix with the Gmini400

By Ryan Block

Maybe it's kind of misleading for Archos to name it the 400 after it's previous 20GB MP3 player was the 220 (how about calling it the 420? Oh, wait...), but that's okay, it's still a 20GB player with a 2.2-inch color screen, MP3/WMA
playback, line-in encoding, and a CF slot. There's just one big bonus: it plays video, supporting MPEG-4/XviD/DivX up to 704 x 480 at 30fps. It's not quite enough to sway us from
the real deal, but that's a pretty hype bonus for reals.
We eagerly await some real photos of this thing.
