The Archos 9 certainly looks the part, with a sleek, thin body, solid brushed-metal construction, and gently tapered edges. It's much closer to what we think a tablet device should look like than the bulky Dell Mini 10 tablet prototype built by Stantum that we looked at recently. The default screen orientation is horizontal, but the body fit very naturally into a single hand when held vertically (which made us wonder why there wasn't a physical screen rotation button anywhere). At 1.8 pounds, it felt a bit dense and heavy for such a small device. archos 9 pc tablet
