Be prepared for a let down... 1080p on a 1024x600 display? external, ok, but with no HDMI output? No optical sound either, except maybe with a proprietary dock... Hope for 120GB HDD, no more... Good battery life? Since when are Archos players good on the battery life side?

But if you DO already own a A9 and PS3 and don't want to buy other devices? Well, power supply would also have to be very big, since A9 and PS3 both use up enough power :P

SIM-slot / TVportation are only on special versions of the product.

Keep in mind that this is a PROTOTYPE! I COULD take up to 2 years before they release it...

I can understand why you would use it, during car rides on vacations and the like, but I don't think a fancy way of doing this is possible...

Although I love Windows and its usability and Windows 7 for everything it is, I must say that your ideas are cool. I've tried Ubuntu 8.0x and 9.04, but found it strange to work with. I don't want to go through the hassle of learning a complete new OS, together with a bit of OSX-logic i have to strug...

There's one on the left side. You can simply plug in a USB-HUB, but you'll need an external power supply to power the HUB. With the connector on the bottom it'll be easy to connect a dock with extra USB-ports.

Thank you bood raven, I'm not going craxy

Sounds as a good product specs/price wise, but they're planning on making this 7" also? Do you have any names of upcoming Android based phones?

@Budwzr
I doubt that since Archos is an American Company (French, I know, but Archos Inc. is American), they seel in America, and they're guilty of said charges, but haven't been sued... America has some stupid cases, but they're all justifiable in their own way.

I see... Indeed, 2GB is chipset maximum address space. I'm still in favor of 1GB IF you can expand yourself.

CPU does indeed sound as snappy as you'd expect from such a device, but I'll complain when I see it. I'm confident Archos makes the right desicion CPU-wise. RAM, If i'm informed correctly is already maxed. The Chipset Atom work with can address 1GB at max, so 2GB, that's a wish you won't be seeing t...

@ Charbax

The big difference is that apple did not advertise or describe this function in the user manual.

Blood raven is correct. System monitoring is easiest reached via the task manager. Charbax, thanks for that information. They could maybe implement another feature for that button and make 'ctrl+alt+del' if you'd hold the both buttons pressed for 2 seconds. Or maybe also add a button on the other si...

Where did you get this information? I believe you 100% but I got a different vibe from the presentation. In my imagination the $100,- PMP is the archos3, no? If your information is right, it is certainly a good choice, since a different naming for mobile phones wouldbe smart (at least ditch the visi...

I've seen the complete presentation and the new products are spoken off, but they'll be presented in the 15th of september (just when I'm on vacation :@) and they say it's the IMT-market (archos5 / 7 ) get an upgrade (upgraded version?) for GSM network. They're talking about an Archos4 vision, which...

I've got the leather protective case for the Archos 5, and I guess it would be cool if they'd make a comparable version for the Archos 9, with the flap on the bottom side, so you could lay a keyboard on it, or even click it in, but you could just fold it behing the A9 to have a tablet.

@ brdystyls
I don't really think abybody is trolling this forum, but it's just a different perspective on product placement en aftersales support.

Okay, i guess you are right about the irritation of the Archos 9 not able to decide what way to display the desktop when held 45degrees rotated ;) Whole different question to you charbax, but do you happen to know what the button beneath the on screen keyboard button does? I could swear there's a bu...

@Charbax Anybody who has a different opinion than you isn't immediately a troll! I understand you like Archos VERY much, and I like it too, but I'm just sick of buying products, for which the marketing says you can buy all sorts of peripherals, but you can't even use them half a year after the relea...
