Archos Gmini 402 Camcorder review

The Gmini 402 omits TV recording in favour of a VGA video camera. The result is a media player that can only be used with a PC, and the poor camera is only a cheap gimmick. Video playback is good though, boasting a quality that's on a par with the AV500, but it's so small that widescreen video ends up as big as your thumb Read more

Creative Zen Vision review

Creative's Zen Vision is much better looking than its nearest rival, in both physical design and interface. It can't record from an AV source but if you want movies on the go, it comes a close second to the Archos AV500 Read more

Archos AV500 review

While the interface could never be described as intuitive and the chassis is prone to scratching, this is a hugely desirable product that is competitively priced and packed with features. If you regularly use DivX video and you're a frequent traveller, then the AV500 is indispensible Read more

Archos AV700 review

Archos is pioneering the portable video player before Apple or even Sky get in on the act, but for the moment the high price point and lack of legitimately available video content are holding the concept back. the AV700 is an impressive technical achievement, however, and it has plenty of useful features for the discerning traveller Read more

Archos AV4100 review

An entire DVD collection in your pocket. It's a grand claim, but one that the Archos AV4100 can justifiably boast -- this 100GB Archos has enough storage for over 120 DivX movies Read more

PQI mPack P800 review

Our biggest gripe with most portable media players is their cliquey attitude to reading video. There are scores of video types out there, not least DivX, which is the feature-length movie format you're most likely to come across on the Internet. So, it was with a girly shriek of glee that we discovered the mPack plays almost every video format you can imagine Read more
