Archos Launches 9" Tablet with Windows 7

Archos has launched a 9 inch ultra-mobile tablet PC that runs on Windows 7.
At an event in France yesterday, Archos kicked things off by announcing the Archos 9, a 9 inch touch screen UMPC running Microsoft’s soon to be released operating system, Windows 7. Weighing in at less than 800g, and just 0.63 inches thick the Archos 9 packs Intel’s Z515 Atom processor, an 80 GB HDD, Bluetooth to tether wireless accessories, and dual DVBT TV atennas.
This sexy looking piece of kit is pegged for an October release (in or around the same time Windows 7 starts to ship and should retail at about €450 ($635).
$635 is a way too much for an MID but at the same time, this thing would be perfect for browsing in front of the television or taking on long flights when boredom is almost guaranteed. Coupled with the fact that many airlines are rolling out in-flight WiFi, it would be a great device to have in your carry on. What do you guys think? Would you fork out more than $600 for one of these or would you just drop heavy hints around your birthday and Christmas?

How To: Build An HTPC (With Windows 7)
After years of trying (unsuccessfully) to build a HTPC that a family would actually use, Chris Angelini thinks that AMD and Microsoft may have finally gotten it right. He outlines his hardware, software, and asks for reader input in this How To.







I was horny for this but the price changes my mood.
Agreed. Way too pricey for the performance, though I certainly wouldn't refuse it as a gift . . .
At that price point I think I'll just get a full size computer, or one of them large-format MIDs due to come out.
pass
But can it play Cryostasis?
I'm from Argentina, and U$S is 80% of my monthly Salary! it's way too expensive
i want it.... but with electronic ink....
It would be a nice companion to a Surface table and just as practical (in other words - FAIL! for most people in the current economy).
To big to fit in your pocket, so is really no more useful than any other mobile device IMO.
I but a Viliv S5 for true mobile use.
Maybe, If the price was 400$, I would definitely buy it. Archos has a tendency to overprice their products, even though they are pretty awesome.
hmmm but does it come in Linux?
and +1 for the < $400 price point
I dont think its all that pricey, this form factor does cost more to make.
That was the euro pricing, there was an estimate somewhere that said this would hit the US for $500. Seeing as the tablet asus netbook is somewhere around $650 this isn't bad, but borderline considering the guts of the thing.
A mediaplayer? How long does the battery last?
$600 is as acceptable as when the battery would last 10+ hours.
if 10+ hours is crazy, then so is the price!
An EeePc 901 costs less than 300, and lasts 8 hours (+ has a keyboard,USB slots and a HD)
interesting but it should have ION chipset

Good battery and a SSD and i-m going to spend some money
I have an archos 5.
I would buy a EeePc before buying this one.
Change it to ATSC tuners and I buy one. This would make a great carputer.
I barely use my Archos 605 Wifi enough. It's too large to carry around for general use. Although it does make travel much better with the ability to play movies.
I surf the net for a few minutes when, and forgive me for being crass here, taking a dump.
The GPS accessory got too many negative reviews so I haven't tried that... basically I use it in the car on long trips for music, or use it for movies when I ride the train.
Amtrak rides are about 6 hours to my brothers house, and they have electrical outlets so battery life is not really an issue on the train.
no matter how cool this device looks, it's a tad too small for my liking. I remember having to redo windows on one of these for a buddy and it was a bit too stressful between the screen and how small the keyboards are on them. I rather sacrifice the size and get a netbook which I already have :-)
For that price you can get 1 and a half Toshiba M200's that are actually faster then that Atom.
You realize that $650 for a MID tablet is really good right? The only competition it has in price is $600 for the Viliv S5, only $50 more.
TH should make a review when this comes out.
Change it to ATSC tuners and I buy one. This would make a great carputer.
If it is released in the USA it will be a ATSC tuners. DVBT (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial) is a generic term for over the air broadcastings, DVBS is for satellite, and DVBC is for cable. ATSC is specific DVBT for certain countries.
Honestly, this device isn't off priced at all like most others are complaining about. I've been waiting for a jupiter class PDA for years, before the whole UPMC boom. But I was unwilling to spend $1000 or more for a low powered, large touchscreen device. Don't try to sell me on a convertible tablet pc either. If i want a keyboard, I'll hook one to a tablet. personally, I would love to see this in a 12" or 14" 16x9 with an LED backlit or OLED multitouch screen. also whoever's reading these forums, maybe SSD options as well as AMD Athlon Neo platform, Intel Atom or Via C7 with nVidia Ion platform.
my personal gripes is with archos. I owned a 5 series that bricked itself two months after the warranty expired. I was livid that they wanted as much to fix it as to buy the next series comparable version.
Jane/Tom's, why are you calling this a MID? it's a nettablet(netbook, nettop). A MID would be a device that would be lacking in BOTH hardware and software upgrades. the fact that this is based off of the FULL windows platform and surely it has at least a usb port for expansion. Do we know if this will have HDMI or mini HDMI out?
Price is ok, but battery life is crucial! Also, heat is a factor. I'd hate to hold that thing if it gets hot after a few hours.
TH really should do a review on this thing.
$500 would be more friendly and likely to be more competitive.
Gimme this with an Ion chipset please....
Is archos from france? I hope they include IE...
I was horny for this but the price changes my mood.
LOL!!! That comment just made my day, hahaha.
im not to worried about the price because the economy is so bad that no one will buy it and then they will have to drop the price if they want to sell any of them
I'll stick with my Palm PRE- perfectly suited for wasting time and it fits in my pocket.
I for one am excited.. its like Surface for my bed! I really like that white model. Not so much into the black which is over played and so outdated. White is the new black.
Well I think it will be more like $500 in the US based on the presentation I saw on Archos website. I've been wanting a device like this similar to the kindle DX for about the past 10 years.. I hate sitting in front of a computer. I've only been doing that since late 80's, its time for change. I got a blackberry, but this would be much better for daily use, I just want to have the desktop for gaming mostly, laptops have been way too heavy and bulky for years. Convertable tablets are nice, but not as cool as touch screen with smartphones. All the tablets are nice, but I want slim, lightweight, full Windows machine and touch. Powerful and user friendly, includes all the connectivity and ability to video conference. Its about very portable and functional at the same time. Yet Dell wants $6000 for the XT2 which is as fast as my desktop machine, not very practical. I just want a device I can just sit in a chair, or lay in bed and read the paper, and listen to music on the head phones, view documents, photos, write some email, IM.. all one 1 device, if you know what i mean. It shouldn't be hot, heavy or pain to use. Its like a Kindle DX. Though, I wish we can get free PDF ebooks for all those hardcopies we purchased in the book stores. It would be nice if it sported another 2 more USB slots. I want to have the freedom to hook multiple devices at once.. like SD card reader.. it should come with that.. and a USB Drive and keyboard or mouse. You should be able to hook up a USB hub, but what is the fun in that.. its just more clutter.
