Archos Gmini 220

I am a total sucker for gadgets like the Archos Gmini 220 (what a horrible product title).

Okay, it’s your basic 20 gb MP3 player. But wait, there’s more. Add an attachment and it becomes an FM radio as well, and you can record directly to the HD. But there’s still more — add an external microphone and capture lectures and presentations.

Not enough? Transfer and store files from all major flash memory cards onto the HD — great for temporarily storing digital photographs on the road to free up that expensive flash memory.

The unit can display the photos, but only in monochrome. I’m only interested in storing them not viewing them, so that’s not a big issue for me, but might be for others.

And the price is a rather respectable $350. I think I’m in love.
