Weight or sound quality

Jun 19, 2005 10:23PM PDT

I just bought an Archos Gmini 100 series. And all the reviews i've read say that its a great mp3 player. The only con it has is its weight (8.6 oz). I was just wondering if i'm the only one that thinks that is not heavy? I know alot of the newer models weigh alot less, but still 8.6 0z is not really heavy to me.

So what is more important,sound quality or weight? This player has great sound and features for the price. Its 100 dollars less than an ipod for the same size storage. Maybe its just that i'm older. I remember when the first sony walkman came out. Everyone was walking around with one and weight was not a big issue at the time. That thing had some weight to it.
