      The original gmini400 already had a USB 2.0 port. I think it kinda sucks that they got rid of the CF port.

      On, another note, it looks like Archos is about to release the new AV 500.

      thanks for catching the mistake, it should be “USB Host Port” in that line.

      AV500 looks great, almost the same specs with AV700, yet smaller.
