The Archos 9 multi-media Tablet PC
As portable media players (MP3 & MP4), traditional Netbooks and even eBook Readers start trading functions, the lines that separate them is getting blurred.
The Archos 9 PC Tablet is a 9-inch touchscreen 1.1GHz Atom-powered PC, in a form factor much closer to Archos' line of portable media players (or older UMPCs) than an iPad.
Using a touchscreen interface and an optical trackball, the Archos 9 PC tablet looks at like a Netbook without it's keyboard half but then it also looks like an oversized MP4 player as well. With an extreme thin body at 0.67" or 17 mm and sleek black finish in a light simple case (800g/ 9 oz), most mobile users will find the unit both powerful and comfortable to use every time they pick the Archos 9 up. It is large enough to enjoy most features of netbooks yet small enough to fit into a hand bag or carry sack.
The 60GB of memory is enough for about 80 movies, which is plenty to watch your videos (including Full HD format), browse the web, “video chat”, write your emails and documents or even read thousands of eBooks. Software such as Windows Live Messenger or Skype with Windows 7, or Lotus Symphony as a productivity suite and will keep you productive. And you can stay connected via the Internet and your emails with the built-in connectivity
This device will play Full HD Video (in 1080p resolution) on its magnificent touch screen. Thanks to the latest Intel ATOM Z series microprocessor and the built-in Intelvideo chipset, all you have to do is hit “Play”, sit down, and enjoy the show on the beautiful 9" screen.
In addition to storing your MP3 music files on your hard drive, you can listen to music freely over the web. A free application called Deezer is a free and legal, music library on the web is built in and has millions of artists and songs. If you want even more choices, Archos 9 also has a built in web radio with thousands of channels.
Reading on the Android application is as comfortable as reading on the Apple iPod or iPhone but with a much larger screen. The Archos 9 can be a worthy competitor to any Tablet PC and a great choice as a multimedia device.
The current price is $549.00 US at Archos.com.
