Archos 9 Coming to America this Fall
July 2nd, 2009 by Joanna Stern
Those tech companies seem to be taking the approach of America’s Independence Day pretty seriously with announcements of bringing new products to the old US of A. Not only did Samsung reveal that it will land its Ion based N510 and Go netbook on U.S. soil in the coming months, but it will be joined by the Archos 9.
Announced a month ago out of France, the Archos 9 tablet PC features a 9-inch touchscreen with virtual keyboard provided by Microsoft Windows 7 ($77.54). However, for those that prefer to navigate with a mouse, the right edge of the device has an optical trackball and buttons. Taking the shape of a Mobile Internet device (and less of a netbook), the Archos 9 is equipped with a new Intel Atom processor (Z515), 1GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive. And because it would make no sense without it – it has 802.11bgn wireless.
The Archos 9 PC Tablet is scheduled to be in stores this Fall. No word on pricing, but if we had to guess we would say this guy should be in the $500 to $700 price range.
