There's a very active community of Gmini users, hackers, and developers; one site is: Gmini400.com:
 
http://gmini400.com
 
and there's a project called ArchOpen, in which a group of hackers are developing an open operating system for Archos devices:

I'll have new project soon...It'll be video for Gminis, so watch for it!

Does the Archos AV500 (or Archos Gmini 402) have an email app? (so, I can do a picture email transmission)

 
Or, does the way it gets video to the PC, is with the USB interface?

 
What OS does it use?  I suppose, one could write an email app for it & do a picture email over WiFi (using a BT -> WiFi adapter).

i've been pimp'n archos for like 2 years.
way ahead of others. 
the hardware designs are good and they are solid.
they could be a bit 'cooler' looking but it's all good.

Wow, I didn't know.

I saw Gmini's at Fry's, so I guess you can get them there.


I noticed it doesn't have Wireless connectivity, like the PSP (WiFi).

Is there a USB accessory that can give it WiFi capability? (like those Linksys dongles, that plug into USB ports?  I got one for my TIVO).

I think I'm gonna get a Gmini 402, & play with it.

I'm just loving the Archos Gmini 402s' built-in camcorder; I shot footage all weekend long while travelling on the bus and on foot for six hours to see my mom in her nursing home, and now I'm making a "mini-movie" out of the footage...

Is anyone using the Archos AV500 (or that giant AV700) player.

 
I want to get one to play with.

 
I just got a Sony PSP, & want to transcode my .mp4 videos to PSP format.

I saw the Gemini at Fry's, & it looks interesting.  That AV500 looks really sexy, although bigger than the more compact Gemini.

 
Is anyone using the HP iPaq 3715?  It has a builtin camera (which can do video)..that can *record* pics/video.

Thank you Michael,
 
MediaCoder appears to be working brilliantly!  Videora Converter didn't seem to have any settings for the Gmini, though I may still use Videora to search for video online.  (I dig its integrated search engine.)
 
I can't believe how fast MediaCoder is transcoding; it's truly amazing!  This is how it should be...Now I'm going to take my Gmini down to my local cafe and see how well the video turned out...
 
Thanks,
Harold

Michael Sullivan or anyone who knows,
 
What do you find to be the best way to translate your video downloads to the format which the Archos players can play?  I've got an Archos Gmini 402 camcorder/player, and though it includes VirtualDub software, the software isn't able to translate .mov files.  So I've been opening my .mov downloads in QuickTime Pro, converting to .avi, and then using VirtualDub to convert to the type of .avi file the Gmini wants.
 
This isn't terribly difficult, but I'm thinking there must be an easier way --  a one-step process, rather than this two-step method.  Anyone know?
 
Thank you,
Harold
