Archos 9 pre-orders pushed back to next year

You’ll have to wait for little longer for this lovely piece.

The French portable media giant Archos is majorly into making MIDs and the Archos 9 is no different, just that it is more of tablet PC than MID and most appropriately named Archos 9PC Tablet. Engadget reports of a delay in the scheduled pre-ordering of this device to probably next year. The tablet was supposed to launch on the same date as Win 7, but now it’s expected to come out in the first half of 2010.

The ARCHOS 9 is powered by the new Intel ATOM Z515 processor, an 80GB hard disk, Bluetooth to tether with wireless accessories, and 2 antennas to receive DVBT TV with diversity reception. It is quite thin at only 0.63-inch and weighs less than 800gm.They have MIDs ranging from the 5" Archos 5 to the 10" Archos 10.

Although the price is stated to be $635 around, but with time it might go up – as Engadget suspect.
