3 out of 5 stars Archos Gmini 400 experience.......2007-02-28

I like my archos 400.

Actually, I think Archos makes a better portable video player than Apple.
I've purchased both Ipod 30gig video and Archos Gmini 400.
I think my Archos hardware performed better, but here comes the negative:

Archos software is terrible
Archos technical support is terrible

Well with that said you understand why I purchased the Ipod.

Someday Archos will correct these problems, in the mean time buy
a ipod.

1 out of 5 stars garbage.......2007-02-04

I BOUGHT THIS ITEM BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO BUY AN IPOD.

This item is garbage.
Its slow and more difficult to use.

It ended up breaking one week after warranty was up and the customer service is HORRIBLE.

I asked them how could I retrieve the data in the unit and they were clueless.
They then asked me to send it in so they could give me a a quote to fix my item, however they told me they would reformat it and i would loose all my data ( which was not an option)

The tech support people sound like they have no idea what they are talking about and sound less elequant than a 16 yr old drive through windom attendant at white castle.

1 out of 5 stars Garbage.......2006-08-12

I bought the Gmini400 because i did not want to follow the whole Ipod Trend and because it seemed to have a lot of great features. First few weeks of owning the device I was thoroughly impressed. However, these feelings soon began to fade. The Gmini's joypad style controls are very inconvient for browsing through 20 GB of music. It would tkae a few minutes sometimes jut to get to the artist I wanted. I also noticed a significant lag time when switching from song to song. These were just some of the minor inconviences. About a month into owning the device It stopped taking music off my computer. It would get to the point where i could not transfer more than one song at a time because it would say there was an error. Also, i began to notice problems with the playback. I would be listening to a song and it would cut out in the middle and then start playing another song for a few seconds and then switch back. On top of all this the headphone jack began to give out. I'd have to jiggle the headphones around just so i could hear any sound. I tried all different types of headphones on it too se eif they worked (including my bose quiet comfor 2's) and they all didnt work. I called archos and was on hold for a real long time to find out there was an internal problem with the hardrive and the headphone jack. They said they were going to write up the maintenance order form thing and email to me but it never came. I called again and they confirmed again they needed to send it however it never came even though i gave them another email. After finally being pushed over the edge i gave up on the gmini and bought an Ipod video. I am thoroughly pleased with the Ipod and would never go back to an Archos mp3 player. save you rmoney on this and any of the Gmini series and buy an ipod video.

4 out of 5 stars Gmini 400 or iPod?.......2006-02-15

This is a review from a 16 year old that has owned it since August 05.
I'm sure you've probably read other reviews and have seen the pros and cons of this item. This is truly a great item, no doubt about it. To add, the pros definatley outweigh the cons.
+ Music, pictures, games, data, AND video
+ Fast, easy transfer- no programs needed such as iTunes.
+ Ability to record
+ Displays album art, sometimes
+ Well above average audio quality
+ Nice convinent play will impress your friends
+ Usable while charging
+ Decent battery life
+ Updates are available

- When recording, it records the clicking sound when you press the record off button
- The 'back' button takes you to the top level instead of just taking you back one level, unless you use the 'parent' button, which is too out of reach for my comfort
- It sometimes pauses while you search for a song or whatever for the hard drive to run
- When, for example, you listen to music and the screen shuts off, and you push a button to turn the screen back on, the screen takes a few seconds to turn back on
- There are no good cases available, and this is pretty fragile (I dropped mine twice and have 2 dents in the metal) Take good care of it.

Now, I'm guessing you are deciding wether to get this or an iPod. While iPods are nice looking and seems to hold together really well, I've heard they have problems with their batteries after a while, but I don't have one so I can't confirm that.
All in all, it depends on wether you want everything this has to offer, or if you're just looking for something to listen to music on. If you just want music, go iPod. They look nicer, and have that nice scroll wheel for an all nice looking product. If you're planning to use all the features, then get this obviously. Sure, it doesn't look as nice, or isn't as popular, and doesn't have a shiny blue bar when changing the volume, but most of the time it's going to be in your pocket, right?

5 out of 5 stars its da bomb.......2005-09-21

since i purchased the gmini its been nothing but solid fun, it has the features i wanted, video playback is awesome, rock solid looks, when i have the chance im getting the bigger size one!!!

          Rarely has a camera packed so much into so little. Inside that sleek, stylish body hides a 2.5x power zoom lens and an amazing range of advanced features. And with an illuminated LCD panel, you can be sure of picking the perfect combination - even in the dark.The Lexio 70 is happy in any conditions. Whenever there's not enough natural light for a picture, the built-in flash fires automatically. There's also a range of useful flash modes to give you extra control, to get the best possible results day or night. And with the ability to shoot from as close as 35cm and special shooting modes for Close-up and Long Distance, you can be sure of bright, clear pictures no matter what the subject.You'll appreciate the many other features, too: including the self-timer, automatic film speed setting, and Konica's special Flash Power Management system, that keeps you shooting up to 50% longer. You can even adjust the large viewfinder to suit your eyesight.

          1 out of 5 stars Nice camera with major reliability problem.......2004-05-27

          I thought this was a great camera--at least for the casual point and shoot user--for the first year or so. But over time it became more and more difficult to turn it (which happens when the cover is opened). It now won't work at all, and after some web searching I've found that I'm not the only one to experience this. Too bad because it's otherwise a very nice, super-compact camera.

          5 out of 5 stars The best small zoom camera you can buy.......2003-08-19

          I just got back from a 1 year trip around the world. Instead of bringing my heavy and bulky Canon camera and lenses, I used this small camera instead. It only weighs about a half a pound, and its the size of a pack of cigarettes. Sometimes I even had to put my hand in my pocket to make sure it was still there. It was so light, I kept thinking it had fallen out of my pocket.

          I have enlarged many of my photos to 8 x 10, and its very difficult to tell the difference between photos taken with this camera, and photos taken with my expensive Canon camera. There is slight distortion in the corners, but it is only noticable if a person happens to be in the corner of the photo, because his head will look slightly slanted. But most people looking at your photos won't even notice. (I'm much more picky than most people.) And you won't notice the distortion at all in landscape photos.

          This is one of the few cameras with a zoom lense that starts at 28mm. 28mm is great for taking wide angle shots. Most zoom cameras start at 35mm or 38mm, which makes it difficult to take good wide angle photos. And even though the lense on this Konica maxes out at 70mm, I rarely found that to be much of a problem.

          Another plus is that the lense is F3.4 - 7.9 which is a heck of a lot better than any other small zoom camera. Compare it to the other popular zoom cameras, like Olympus, which go up to F9 or F11, which is horrible in low light.

          Konica is really bad at marketing, so most people don't realize just how awesome this camera is. But I've taken over 1000 photos with this camera, and it has never let me down.

          Decent price. Holds many pictures. Respectable industry name. A winner.

          3 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Price Premium.......2001-03-21

          This card works fine, but here is the bitter truth.

          The core of all the cards (known in technical terms as the "controller") are made by only a few DRAM manufacturers. Those handful of DRAM manufacturers then sell the "controllers" to the major flash card manufacturers (i.e. SanDisk, Kodak, Olympus, and Viking). The flash card manufacturers then simply throw some plastic casings on the controllers, slap on a label, and ship the cards. As long as the flash card manufacturer is reputable, has a good warranty, and has been around for over 5 years; you will be just fine.

          What I am trying to get at? I simply want to make it clear that you should not buy a card based solely on the fact it is made by Kodak. Check the pricing against the other major manufacturers (i.e. SanDisk, Viking, etc.) and then make your decision.

          5 out of 5 stars useful reliable memory cards.......2001-01-26

          I use this 64-meg memory card in my Kodak DC4800 camera, in my HP Handheld (660LX) computer, AND in my old Kodak DC50 camera also. (My handheld computer and DC50 camera both require an adapter.) Works great -- I have not encountered a single problem.

          This card can hold about 65 pictures in the best-quality JPG format from my DC4800 camera. When shooting in the highest-quality mode (TIFF format), I can get only about 10 pictures on this card. For those times when I shoot in the TIFF mode, I bought the bigger 128meg Kodak card which holds twice as much.

          I have a Digital Wallet 6-gig storage device onto which I download pictures from the chip when I'm on the road, and as should be expected - this Kodak card works fine there too.

          These cards come pre-formatted for Windows but you can reformat them for Mac computers.

          These great Kodak cards are reliable ...

              Amazon.com Product Description

              Get ready for the future of television with the 32-inch, HD-ready Samsung TXN3271HF TV. It features 1080i and 480p display formats, 4:3 aspect ratio (with 16:9 enhanced mode), Samsung's DynaFlat anti-distortion, anti-glare flat picture tube, and a full complement of Samsung's advanced digital video features, including three-line digital comb filter, velocity scan modulation, and 3:2 pulldown cinema conversion.

              The TXN3271HF offers Samsung's Digital Pro Picture three-stage video processing system that produces a high-performance picture from both analog and digital sources. The Total DSP (Digital Signal Processing) improves analog to digital signal processing, the Pro Chip Plus converts all analog signals to the better flicker-free progressive scan, and the three-line digital comb filter analyzes multiple lines of picture information to minimize edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

              The 3:2 pulldown cinema video processing detects and compensates film--which is shot at 24 frames per second (fps) compared with video's 30 fps rate--to video for a smooth theaterlike experience at home. This set also features an Invar shadow mask (an alloy material used to attain better focus and brightness consistency), color temperature controls, and four video presets (standard, dynamic, movie, custom) that optimize the picture for brightness, sharpness, color, and tint.

              It has a built-in 181-chanel NTSC tuner that receives MTS and SAP stereo broadcasts. You'll need a separate HDTV tuner to receive high-definition broadcasts. Its built-in speakers have 15 watts of power apiece and it features a headphone jack on the side of the set. Two component-video inputs allow you to connect an optional HDTV receiver or a source with component-video outputs. It also has 4 composite A/V inputs (3 rear, 1 side), 1 A/V output, 1 S-video input (side), and 2 RF inputs (rear).

              Tech Talk
              Aspect ratio: The aspect ratio refers to the shape of the video image. Standard television has a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is almost square in appearance. Digital television will have either a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio, which is widescreen and appears rectangular, looking more like a movie screen and filling more of the viewer's field of vision for a more lifelike viewing experience.

              Scanning method: Frames of video are made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TV), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p," fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display.

              5 out of 5 stars The best tv ever!.......2007-05-03

              This is the coolest design on tv for its size. I have had mine for the past six months or so. I cannot belive that it has held its value even though the age of the model. The image quality is impresive. I share the connection of my HD DVR though coaxial and the image looks in High Def!

              I thought I paid too much for it, 900 but I am so glad I did.
              The buttons are hidden, they light up on contact. It has two HD connections and others for games or vcr. The remote is universal so it can be programmed for other devices.

              I recommend this TV, you may even find it at a better deal now.

              Samsung is hands down the best television manufacturer!

              4 out of 5 stars curious.......2006-07-20

              I love this TV. HD signal comes in sharp as a laser, black screen renders as such (not charcoal grey), and colors are vibrant.

              Standard cable does look fuzzy - no up-sampling or any form of compensation.

              I have this switched to my home-made computer - it's a fantastic monitor for working in a more relaxed environment. For gamers, it's great (assuming one has the requisite hardware to render properly)

              I purchased it a year and a half ago, for about US$820. For people that don't care for extra bells and whistles, and are not interested in the picture, but the story, this is a worthy investment.

              2 out of 5 stars This Model outdated in less than a year........2004-12-02

              The Samsung Monitor has performed well over the past year. To be fair I haven't had any problems. However, like most electronic equipment it is now outdated. For an extra 50 bucks you can buy one with a built in HDTV tuner. The store where I bought this model doesn't even carry it anymore, and it hasn't been a year. Also, when you start pricing HDTV tuners, OTA or other be prepared to pay $300-$400. This Model is now outdated.

              3 out of 5 stars Very good.......2004-09-28

              I think other reviewers must work for Samsung's competition. Recently received mine and the picture quality is excellant. Yes, there are some extras missing I would like to have like PIP but after all, look at the price. Once again those other reviewers listed I suspect may be working in concert

              1 out of 5 stars Poorly designed, Poorly serviced.......2004-03-20

              We bought a Samsung TXN3271HF 32" HDTV last August. We noticed about a month later that when watching TV in the dark the picture is "striped". That is parts of the screen are one darkness and part are another. We have had a very difficult time getting service help from Samsung. Calls to their service center go unreturned. When we finally got a referral to a competent local service company, the head tech told us that Samsung admits the design of the TV is flawed and that this problem is COMMON AND CANNOT BE FIXED! Do not buy this television! I have called Samsung service more than 12 times and never recieved a satisfactory answer to this problem.
