Already announced in Europe last month, Archos is bringing its new Archos 9 PC Tablet to the U.S. market. The ultraportable tablet weighs less than 22.29 ounces and measures just 0.63-inches thick.

On the hardware front, the Archos 9 boasts a full touch-sensitive 9-inch screen, an Intel Atom Z515 processor (1.2GHz, 512KB cache, 400MHz frontside bus), 1GB of RAM, up to 120GB of storage, 1.3MP webcam, and an optical track-point mouse.

On the software side of things, the new tablet will come pre-loaded with Microsoft's upcoming Windows 7 OS. It will also include Microsoft Office and a host of other apps, such as "Web TV & Radio, video conference, antivirus, parental control, photos and movies edition applications, and more."

The Archos 9 PC Tablet will go on sale sometime this fall for an as yet undetermined price.

If Archos' past history continues, the product will be overpriced and any software you want to install will somehow have to come from them at an inflated price.  Their Archos Gen 5 series devices and Archos 5 & 7 internet media devices left much to be desired. I would expect the same here. 

This device sounds great, but I'd be very skeptical of what it really is capable of doing compared to other products.

Is this thing multi-touch capable? If so, and if this thing isn't price unreasonably, I seriously want one. It would be like a big iPod Touch - this is exactly what I've been waiting for. 

If it's not multi-touch, I guess I'll still be waiting for Apple to put one together... I should probably also start saving my $$ for the Apple tax...

is it multi-touch? who would ask a silly question like this? Of course you can touch it as many times as you like. Other people can touch it multiple times as well if you let them.
