    I haven't really heard anything about this other than seeing pictures and hearing about it having the ability to play games. I wonder what it's specs are and what all its capable of.

    I wonder what the internal difference is between the two. I might buy one to expland my psp development to providing it gets a few interesting japanese games for it worth playing (and does not cost me $500-$1k).

    Honestly, how can I put any stock in a piece of marketing like that? Those designs were obviously not made by gamers because they would know that at the very least a D-pad is a necessity. These pictures scream, (boardroom) "Hey, let's tap into the handheld gaming market...anyone ever play one of these things?"

    rare are those gadget who claim that they can do emulation. The homebrew community will certainly handle it.

    While I don't think they're as reliable a company either in terms of product or support as iRiver, I've always like Archos's systems and a number of their newer ones are set up for gaming with built-in support for Mophun games (that's the format in the Gizmondo and I think also some high-end cell-phones use) and a Linux-based OS which is moderately open to homebrew development (there's a number of homebrew games as well as Gameboy and Game Gear/SMS emulators available).


    The PMA430 has some incredbly cool nice features (like wi-fi, a touchscreen, live DivX movie encoding, etc.), but it doesn't have the best layout for gaming.


    The GMini400 does have a very nice layout for gaming (including an actual dpad unlike these ones form iRiver). There's a sub-model called the Gmini400c that includes an intergrated digital camera/camcorder.

    Both of those systems are hard drive-based, too, which I think is nice. It looks like portable media players are moving towards flash memory, but you still can't beat having 40 or 80GB to play around with, especially in the case of the Gmini system with the built in camcorder.

    I have an older Archos system, the AV320, and I liked it a lot. It's pretty big since it uses a 2.5" HD (which does mean easy HD upgrades, on the other hand), but having the ability to do everything in one unit is really nice.

    Personally, though, I'm planning on getting a GP2X and just using that as both a game macine and media player. It'll certainly be a better games machine than any of these ones from Archos or iRiver and almost as good of a media player I guess (too bad about the battery life). Switching from my AV320 to the GP2X, I'll miss being able to encode MP3 or DivX movies from any source and the integrated digital camera/camcorder and I certainly wish it had a hard drive, but I guess a passel of 1 or 2GB SD cards will do.
