4 of 5 The Gmini was great Friday, December 03, 2004
Saad Abbas from naperville illinois  

I loved the gmini the only problem was when you tranfer a picture onto it, some pictures cant be readable. and all the pics are in black and white, if you want color dont get this. also the headphones break really easaily so watch out for that.overall it is a very good deal

4 of 5 Nice form factor and Value Friday, October 01, 2004
Fred Gruner from Silicon Valley  
I bought the GMini 220 because the of the features for the price (I wanted the compact flash interface to transfer pictures). I have had it a week. The unit is compact and sturdy. The user interface is usable but not fantastic. It plays well and I like it. Transferring files is easy (although I don't like the Musicmatch Jukebox software very much, I just copy the files on). One Small annoyance is that to use headphones other than the ones which came with it, you need a small external adapter (which comes with it). I haven't tried to transfer pictures to it yet. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase.
