It's been a long time coming, but the Archos 9 is finally being unleashed wholesale upon the world. The 9-inch tablet has been delayed (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/archos-9-pre-orders-reportedly-delayed-until-december-retail-re/) and had its price hiked (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/03/archos-9-up-for-pre-order-in-america-for-50-more-than-anticipat/), but if you haven't leapt off the hype train yet you'll be interested in watching the unboxing and initial impressions video after the break courtesy of UMPCPortal. The 60GB device contains a mere 1.1GHz Atom processor and has been unfortunately crippled with Windows 7 Starter Edition, lacking the cool tablet features (http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/29/screenshots-emerge-of-tablet-pc-features-in-windows-7-beta/) that you might have wanted to use on a tablet device. A few times during this video the Archos is likened to the Joojoo (http://www.engadget.com/tag/joojoo), which will almost surely face some delays of its own before receiving a similar berth months from now. Overall it's looking like a nice machine if you have the bank -- and don't want to do anything particularly processor intensive.Continue reading Archos 9 tablet and its Windows 7 Starter Edition unboxed (video) (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/archos-9-tablet-and-its-windows-7-starter-edition-unboxed-video/)
