Archos announces Archos 9 Windows 7 tablet Update: hands-on pics
Posted in: Android, archos, tablet, Today's Chili, UMPC
Archos is currently having an event in France, and while we’re still expecting some sort of Android announcement, the company’s leading off with the Archos 9, a nine-inch Windows 7 tablet. It’s basically a netbook in tablet form, with an Atom Z515 processor, 80GB disk, Bluetooth, and dual DVB-T antennas — yep, Archos has brought back the UMPC. No word on pricing or availability yet, we’ll let you know.
Update: Sounds like a 1.2GHz processor — not exactly a rocket, but probably adequate for a stripped-down Windows 7 build. We’re also hearing September / October availability, in line with Windows 7, and a €450 ($633) pricetag.
Update 2: So much for our hopes — the event is now over and no Android announcements were made. Charbax from techvideoblog (who is at the event) says we’ll see more info on September 15.
Update 3: As you’d expect, ArchosLounge is on the scene and they’ve nabbed some hands-on pics. Check a couple after the break — we think it looks sort of gigantic, but maybe that’s what the world’s been waiting for.
