What do you think ? I think beside of the screen size (Ipad is bigger), the built-in webcam (with Achros 9) and the different OS types (Windows 7 for Archros 9 and ipod touch os for Apple Ipad), battery life (5 hours for Archros 7 and 10 hours for Apple Ipad) and 3G ability (for Apple Ipad), built in mouse control (Archos 9)Most of them are pretty the same – same speed processor, built-in microphone, built-in speaker, on screen keyboard, multitouch screen, office processor program supported, more application (windows 7 is supported millions of programs while Apple has an Itunes which also has a lot of apps for your Ipad).

Archos 9 PC price vs Apple IPad price


Archos 9′s price has been set to USD 549 and Apple 3G IPad price has been set as a table above. So, if you really like to use 3G Ipad you’ll have to pay at least USD 629 or if you decide to go with the minimum no 3G 16 GB model you have to pay USD 499 for Apple Ipad, a bit pricey don’t you think ?

Hmm It’s seems like the only one big question to decide about this two tablets is : Are you Mac or PC ? If you love PC, go with Archos 9, If you are MAC lover, go with Apple Ipad. Good luck !
