Even while netbooks have become all the craze, MiniPCs or tablets are still pretty popular and Archos just announced a new, innovative Archos 9PCtablet.  Previously, the most portable, yet complex in terms of features, device was the Internet Media Tablets, however, the 9PCtablet looks to be a nice upgrade.  Essentially, it comes with many core features of a normal computer, and is totally touch. 

On the go, it is important to many people that their device feature the latest technology and come with as many features as possible.  Netbooks do a good job of handling this, but tablets are even more portable.  The latest Archos device even features the Windows 7 OS, an on screen keyboard (meaning no physical keyboard), 80GB hard drive, runs on Intel’s Atom Z515 processor, Bluetooth tethering capabilities, as well as 2 antennas. 

With the two antennas, users are able to access television via the DVBT TV antenna.  Since it doesn’t come with an actual keyboard, the device becomes a whole lot lighter and portable; in fact, it measures in at under 800g while it is only 0.63 inches thick.  In addition, as the name implies, the touch screen measures in at an adequate 9 inches.  For all your video conferencing needs, don’t forget it comes with a webcam and optional 3G service. 

Since the device can’t be released until Windows 7 is officially released, expect the Archos 9PCtablet to be sold in October, after Windows 7 is available. In terms of pricing, according to UMPC Portal, it will be on sale for 500 Euros, or $706.
