Archos is currently having an event in France, and while we're still expecting some sort of Android announcement, the company's leading off with the Archos9, a nine-inch Windows 7 tablet. It's basically a netbook in tablet form, with an Atom processor, 80GB disk, Bluetooth, and dual DVB-T antennas -- yep, Archos has brought back the UMPC.

Control is either via the touchscreen or an optical mouse on the right-hand bezel, while connectivity includes a VGA output, USB 2.0 port, 1.3-megapixel webcam and optional 3.5G HSPA WWAN.  According to Archos Lounge, who shot the two live photos in the gallery below, the Archos 9 PC Tablet will arrive in fall 2009, priced from €500 ($705), and be followed in early 2010 by a 12-inch version.
