If you find an equally priced device with same specs, without the flaws you mentioned (missing SD slot and...) that will be available for X-Mas, please tell us - I'm sure we'd all like to know! |

I'm with gerraldo. With a 60GB HDD a SDHC just seems pointless. Well you can probably download the files through Wifi faster than the time it takes to pull your USB and transfer info that way.

the sdhc card slot missing is not a deal breaker for me but i am about it not being there... the performance seems under par for whats currently out there in terms of umpcs...esp at this price point...i do hope they come out with a nice case for it so that all ports are avail and has some straps on the bottom for your hands to make it nice and secure... ill be keeping an eye on this for xmas and see how reviews and mods are in the next few weeks/month

No HDMI port? "That's a deal breaker ladies!"
Maybe it not. I want to see the PDF viewer and a comic reader in action. |

You can find it HERE And... TADAAA... Archos 9 is available in the Archos shop (Next shipment : beginning of November) at $ 500,-- (sadly it's € 500,-- in Europe, but the $ 500,-- convert nicely to € 340,--...) |

Still says "coming soon" for me, but I'm in the US.
ETA: Well, now I can preorder it, but the Archos store raised the price 50.00. Still not a deal breaker, but not making me happy, either. Erwin Comp. is still showing it at $499. Last edited by phenomshel; 11-06-2009 at 01:57 PM. |
