But wait—is that Windows 7 Starter Edition?
Unfortunately, yes, which means that this version won't take full advantage of Windows 7's tablet capabilities. Still, UMPC Portal reports a solid 3 hours of battery life, 60GB hard drive, 1GB RAM, and a 1.1Ghz Atom under the hood. Our initial hands-on impressions were generally favorable (http://gizmodo.com/5354964/archos-9-hands-on-the-windows-7-netbook-that-lost-its-keyboard), and there's nothing really here to contradict that (although $500 is still pretty steep). UMPC will be giving more updates today that we'll keep an eye on.
