Black Friday is almost here! Gadgetell's got you covered with all the latest news on who's offering the best deals. Dangerous crowds? You're on your own.
Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
Right after the Microsoft Courier hoopla comes another tablet that is not from Apple. Archos, makers of very cool devices that very few normal people know about, just introduced its Archos 9, a 9-inch, 1024 x 600 resistive touch screen tablet. There is also an optical trackpad if you want to mouse around. The device runs Windows 7 (which has built-in multi-touch support), has 4 hours of battery life, and a 60GB hard drive. The only problem? The price tag is $499, which will probably keep it a niche product.
Yes, it would be very cool to look up things on IMDB on this while watching a movie or even make it a home automation control center. However for $499 you could get a netbook with similar stats with a keyboard. On the other hand, this is not that much more expensive than HP’s line of digital picture frames, but has a lot more functionality.
There’s a great video below from UMPC Portal. It is definitely worth a watch.
