The Archos 9 is supposedly going to hit the market next month. Archos is trying to replace the traditional pc with this new UMPC.

There is no physical keyboard, but instead a virtual keyboard, which is very easy to use. There is also an optical trackpoint to let you do anything from surf the web, to work or just for play.

The biggest difference from the previous tablet, the Archos 5, is the larger screen and it has Windows 7.

You can definitely use this just sitting at home or wherever you go. The small size would be perfect for travel, especially if all the airlines start getting wifi. Check email, weather, and it works well for all your entertainment purposes.

You are basically getting a tablet with the power of a bigger, netbook computer.

The Archos comes in a sleek design that is 0.63-inches think and is 9 inches long.

So, if you don’t want to wait for the rumored Apple Tablet, you may want to consider this one!

There have been TONS of rumors about an Apple tablet coming out as soon as October. Whether that’s true or not remains to be seen.

So what’s the big deal if Apple makes a tablet or not? Well, first off, will it live up to the hype? Second, will there be a big enough market for it?

Essentially, imagine a bigger iPhone and iPod Touch. Of course, given Apple’s record, it will be top of the line, also with a top price tag. The rumors going around mention about $800 for the so-called Apple Tablet (or iTablet?).

Other rumors include that tablet being released at a special event sometime in the first half of 2010.

It has also been rumored to be cheaper than the $800 mentioned previously, and instead be between $500 and $700, making it fall in between the iPhone and the MacBook as far as price and size both go.

The Financial Times also reports that the tablet will be release before Christmas, maybe even this month.

The tablet could have the ability to download songs from iTunes and possibly include the ability to read books, making it a Kindle rival. And of course it will connect to the Internet, and be able to access web pages.

If I was wanting a Kindle I might be willing to wait a couple more months and see if this Apple Tablet really is true, since it probably will have the capabilities to do a lot more, and be in color instead of black and white. Now to the real question, would you buy an Apple Tablet?

The ClarionMiND Mobile Internet Navigation Device is just what it says, a combination of a GPS and a Mobile Internet Device.

The ClarionMind has wifi based Internet access to Google, MySpace, YouTube and E-Mail. You can also check news and weather. Also, you can avoid traffic pile-ups with the Traffic.com widget.

The benefit of this being able to connect to wifi is you could look up a restaurant or coffee shop and find directions on how to get there, especially if you are traveling and not sure where anything is located.

It is also good for entertainment purposes. Watch your favorite movies, and listen to music with the built-in RealPlayer. To play games, just connect a gamepad to a USB slot. Store all your pics on a thumb drive to view and share while you’re on the go.

The ClarionMiND also has basic functions such as a calculator, notepad, and file manager.

Overall, the ClarionMiND is getting mixed reviews. It is pretty easy to use, for just about anyone. But, it is pretty pricey. I have seen prices ranging from about $250 to $600. If you could get one on the lower end, I think it would be worth it.

“The Power Of A Netbook In A Tablet” is Archos’ description of their 9PCtablet.

The tablet has an impressive 9-inch resistive touchscreen. It is capable of running a full computer OS.

If you just want something you can take almost anywhere and lay on the couch and use, this is a good product. Of course, you have to keep in mind that you will be holding it to use.

The 9PC comes complete with Windows 7, 80GB hard Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, kickstand, onscreen keyboard, and SIM card slot.

Here is a video from archosfans.com

The 9pctablet U.S. release date isn’t exact yet but it is supposed to be released in the fall.

T-Mobile is releasing My Touch 3G in the beginning of August. The MyTouch is the the second smartphone the Tmobile has introduced that uses Android.

Of course the phone is touchscreen, also includes a camera, Wifi, Bluetooth, and 512MB of internal memory. (You can get a memory card for those who need more)

You will be able to customize the icons, menus and wallpapers, which I think is pretty cool and wish I could do that on my phone. You can also get customized shells and skins.

MyTouch will be sold exclusively through just tmobile (in the U.S.)

The MyTouch is already available on pre-order but the actual release date is in August.

The phone will be available in white, merlot and black.

The Samsung Q1EX-71G is more affordable than the ones before it, but the battery life falls short.

They got rid of the keyboard and instead opted for a 7” touchscreen. The touchscreen is ok to use without a stylus for some things, but you will have to use one for most things, like selecting links and entering text. The stylus can be stored away with the included strap.

It does have a webcam on the back and a kickstand.

The Q1 uses Tablet PC Edition of Windows XP. And includes 2GB of memory. The battery life is supposed to last about 4 hours, but some find it quite a bit shorter than that.

Wireless connectivity and Bluetooth are also included, and seem to work pretty well.

The price is about $750, but you can upgrade and get the organizer dock for $129. The longer-lasting battery is about $99.99.

On-the-go people can stay caught up on work and email, or whatever else you need it for.

Here are the specifications.

The Mylo came out over a year ago but I thought it was still worth mentioning. The main reason… no contracts!

You can connect to Wifi hot spots and browse the Internet with this device. Talk on Skype or use one of the many instant messenger applications and you are all set.

You can also take pictures, watch videos, and play games, all on a 3.5″ LCD touch screen.

With today’s smartphone, you can use the internet, and messaging too. But, with the Mylo, you won’t have any monthly bills, and like I said, no contracts! If you’re like me and hate the one and two year contracts you have to sign with cell phone companies, you should consider the Mylo.

Get most of the main functions of a PC or laptop right in your pocket.

Oh, and what does Mylo stand for? “My life online.”

Need to get more work done from your phone? You’re in luck!

The Asus Eee 4G is a compact notebook with a full QWERTY keyboard. The display is only 7 inches.

This mobile Internet device is good for things such as searching the web, taking notes, typing papers, or just pictures and games.

Just a simple (but just as powerful as a laptop) mobile PC for anyone from kids, to college students to business travelers. Oh and keep in mind, it is pretty small. But, that also means it could fit in your brief cases and purses.

It is perfect if you think smart phones are too small and laptops are too large.

Check out some of the specifications on Amazon.

I also wanted to point out that it is also compatible with Windows XP.

Back in February, at the Mobile World Congress, Intel and LG announced a new MID called “Moorestown.” “It is codenamed for the successor to Intel’s current Atom processor,” says Christian Coley from eFluxMedia.

MID is a relatively new term. MID and smartphones can be interchangeable, but since Moorestown has been named a MID, it will probably be bigger than a smartphone. So basically, the device is kind of a mix between a laptop and smartphone. It will require wireless Internet of course, which means signing up for a plan or connecting to wifi spots more than likely. Hopefully the wireless and data plans of the future will be better than the ones now. Internet, messaging, email, all that should be combined into one service with one fee, at least that’s what I’m hoping for.

Intel and LG’s announcement is the hottest thing in the MID industry right now. In fact, if you search Google for “Mobile Internet Device 2009“, that’s pretty much all that shows up on the first page.

Many websites I researched include that “MIDs represent an emerging growth category in the industry, being designed to bring a PC-like Internet experience in pocketable devices.” Which is exactly what Intel’s goal is.

It has been said that the Moorestown chip will use 10 times less power compared to current platforms.

If you want some more details and specifics of Moorestown, you can check out some press releases on Intel’s site.

The release date will be probably be late 2009 or 2010.
