Archos Releases Info On New UMPCs

Archos, formerly known for their portable media devices, has just released information on their new line of ultra-mobile personal computers, a huge step in the new image of the company. It is, without a doubt, their most anticipated product, after the Archos mobile Internet units were released a few years ago.

According to Twice.com, the new Archos PC will run a Windows 7 Home Edition platform, which already makes it a desirable option in a Microsoft-dominated industry. It will also run an Intel 1.2GHz processor, and a high resolution touch screen, which will be just under 9″.

While the details on most of the configurations (which will be adapted for a global release) have not yet been released, we do know that it will have a number of features. For instance, the Archos UMPC will have a built in webcam, Bluetooth, and Skype software, and a 60 GB harddrive, a decent size.

The release date has not been officially announced, though Archos has said that the unnamed product will begin selling sometime this fall. No one knows just what it will cost, but based on their other products we can assume the price will be significantly lower than many other brands.
