iPad's big brother

Is this where Apple got its idea for the iPad from? I think that it is something to think about. They have a lot of things in common. The Archos PCtablet. http://www.archos.com/products/nb/archos_9/index.html?country=us&lang=en
The iPad has more features, sure. Archos was leaked around June 12, 2009.
It is running Windows 7, so it is a fully functioning computer.

WHAT IS THIS A LAPTOP?

@kobalov1 THIS WAS MADE BEFORE THE IPAD!!!!

Whoever build this still doesn´t understand what makes the iPad so great. You can´t build a better device by just adding more features.

@Henson222 AH-HA! I'm sorry to say, my friend, but you are wrong. This came out before the iPad.

@Henson222 your right man so true u cant beat apple and that thing looks kinda thick also ipad wins

[totalmandude]

@jeffhardy4499 Apparently you didn't read my reply to him. This came out before the iPad. It has more features, plus its cheaper. It has a REAL operating system that most other computers use. It is a Laptop but more portable, unlike the iPad that has very limited features. Don't even bring up apps, Windows has REAL applications.

@emmanuelabcdefg btw the archos 9 has a resistive touchscreen wich is very unresponsive, but in a years time their new 3-10" products ranging from $100-$350 are gonna smash the ipad, and lol i dunno y u waste ur time defending apple for their overpriced products,

@EkingRDL its got a hard drive it cant be thinner. They just came out with a SSD model But I don't think they are going to re design just to make it thinner

[cloudenvy000]

Don't compare the "archos 9" and the "ipad" its like comparing apples and onions. I dont like any IMT or PMP They just cant do what i need them to do. The archos 9 is cheap. and it gives me the freedom to rip it apart, when it comes to software.

@totalmandude That is obvious, no one would dare release this AFTER the ipad

[lameKidification]

looks like one of the first tablets

Why is everyone raging? This looks pretty epic. I do wish that the chrome or apple app store was available to more devices like this, would make it a load better.

If It Were Only Thinner It Would Be GREAT

LOL. It may have come out before the ipad, but the ipad shits on this.

This thing is horrible. Having a full sized operating system for a tablet is just the opposite of what it is made for. Tablets are for quick easy access to email and web browsing. If you want something more than that and still be portable, then that is what a laptop is for. This thing is junk. Theres a reason why iPad sales beat this thing in sales. Because its just a stupid underpowered product.
