New Archos Gmini 500 Appears
Archos published a product page for a new Archos Gmini 500 on their site.
The Archos Gmini 500 PMP has the looks of the new Archos AV500 portable media player and DVR. I did not like the design of the Gmini line. So the new design is a plus. The Gmini 500 comes in 20GB and 40GB configurations and has a 4 inch screen.
Compared to the AV500 it misses the DVR functionality. The new Gmini measures 76 x 124 x 24 mm and weighs 315g.

New Archos Gmini 220 small 20GB HD MP3 Player
Archos announced officially today the Archos Gmini 220 and the Gmini 120. We reported about the Archos Gmini 120 already 2 weeks ago.
Archos says the GMINI 220, the industry's smallest 20-gigabyte MP3 player, will be available in November. Well we do not think so. There are no measurements available to us, but from the available photos, we doubt that it will beat the Toshiba GigaBeat with 89.5mmx 76.5mm x 12.7mm!.
The differences in the GMINI 220 and 120 devices are in the form factor and screen size, where the GMINI 220 is the smaller and has a 2.5 inch LCD screen. The GMINI 220 screen is grayscale with a blue backlight for easy viewing of photos and icons.
Both players offer MP3 and WMA recording and playback, an icon-based interface, and advanced music management capabilities through the Archos ARCLibrary and Musicmatch Jukebox Plus. The new ARCLibrary lets users delete, rename, copy and move files, and create folders directly on the GMINI Series, without using a PC.
Press-Release
Archos Gmini 220 available on Amazon.com for $349.99.
