Archos 9 Media Tablet PC Key Features

Sleek and shiny enclosure for a sharp screen

At first, all you see is its magnificent touch screen. It is sharp, precise, and intuitive. So much so that typing on the virtual keyboard is totally effortless.

The thinness of this device is quite remarkable. Its edges fan out from an already thin structure (0.67” or 17 mm at its thickest). And since it weighs less than 29 oz (800 g), you can easily carry it with you in your handbag and use it any time. You’d be right to wonder how you can have up to 80 movies stored in such a small device.

Smart features for intuitive use

The ARCHOS 9 PC tablet’s controls are ergonomically placed for comfortable and natural use.

• On the right, an optical trackpoint for finger navigation replaces the big touchpad of a laptop to ensure you can precisely point to any position on your screen.
• On the left, screen brightness, WiFi control, and left/right mouse buttons complement the virtual keyboard, so that your regular mouse controls aren’t left aside.

When you want smart info that pops-up under web links or need to right click on something, it’s just as easy as on a PC. That’s just one of the many differences from earlier tablet computers.

• The ARCHOS 9 features a two-position leg-stand, an ARCHOS trademark, to optimize its use.
• The Upper position is best for viewing videos on the go, surfing the web, or reading.
• The Lower position is ideal when you need to type memos or web addresses, send an email, or chat with your friends.

Performance for HD Video

For a long time now, the ARCHOS trademark has been it superior quality mobile video.

With the ARCHOS 9 PC tablet, we’ve made sure it’s able to offer the best of video for its users. That means HD video. This device will play Full HD Video (in 1080p resolution) on its magnificent touch screen. Thanks to the latest Intel ATOM Z series microprocessor and the built-in Intel video chipset, all you have to do is hit “Play”, sit down, and enjoy the show on the beautiful 9″ screen.

And with the optional port-replicator which adds outputs to your ARCHOS (including a VGA video output), you can watch your movies and videos on your large HD TV.

With two USB ports, you won’t have to swap in and out your printer and an external keyboard for example.

Lotus Symphony

The ARCHOS 9 PC tablet is a PC, no doubt about it. But what good would it be if it didn’t have an office productivity suite?

That’s why we’ve selected Lotus Symphony to let you create documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Lotus Symphony is IBM’s long-standing office tools suite.

It is compatible with all other standard office applications on the market so that you won’t have to wonder if your documents can be read by your colleagues, or if you will be able to open the ones they’ve sent you.

And you don’t need to be concerned about the keyboard. The virtual on-screen keyboard on your ARCHOS 9 PC tablet is completely compatible with all the specialized features in Lotus Symphony.

Mails & Contacts

With Windows Live Mail, you can manage multiple email accounts like Hotmail, Gmail, AOL, and Yahoo! or Mail Plus, all in one place with one simple program. Sharing photos by email is easy, too. Put them right in the email and send them without big attachments that can clog inboxes. And Windows Live Mail is free.

Additionally, with Windows Live you get access to SkyDrive. SkyDrive is a free online storage environment from Microsoft just for you. You can store and share your files and photos, and you get 25 GB of space for this. Just for you. Free.

Share, Chat, Talk

If you already have a computer, or if the Internet has become so appealing to you that you need to buy your first machine, then Social Networking, Chatting, and other web 2.0 web sites are out there waiting for you. It’s about sharing and being connected to other people. The ARCHOS 9 PC tablet will let you do just that. With SKYPE already installed, all you have to do is log in to your existing account, and start talking or chatting with your friends or family. SKYPE also allows you to SEE the person you’re talking to (if they have a webcam). With the built-in 1.3 megapixel built-in webcam, you will be seen by them as well. Additionally, SKYPE offers you a voice mail system where people can leave you a message, as well as the ability to send SMS messages to portable phones.

And when you feel like writing rather than talking, you can still use SKYPE for instant messaging. With emoticons (those little signs that are so useful to express feelings) and editing status, you’re just key-clicks away from your friends and family.
