Some of you can still remember the editorial on how the PalmOS is ideal for use in digital cameras. In case you didn’t, here is a link to it:

Anyways, Archos apperently reads TamsPalm
, and thus they launched their Gmini 402 Camcorder portable media player. The most outstanding feature is the integrated 1.3 megapixel camera. The machine still lacks a touchscreen though, and apperently can’t multitask or send email. However, it supports Mophun games-so, the device can somehow be programmed after all!
I am not sure what to say about this box. It doesn’t endanger the LifeDrive IMHO, as it doesnt have a touchscreen and is a clean media player(the LifeDrive is more of a convergence device). However, it shows that Archos knows what to do, and adding a touchscreen is not an act requiring too much skill!
What do you think?
