It looks pretty sweet from what i've seen, will it be upgradable to Android's Ice Cream Sandwich?
I am not sure. I like Windows 7 on my laptop but as in a tablet I don't know if I would like it. I love android on a tablet. I want to play with an archos 9 but there is no where to play with it. The archos

Ah, so the manufacturers have to make up for shoddy software with higher specs? Not trolling here, just wondering why this is the case when the iPhone has lower specs than say, most modern Android phones but is still smoother.
But aren’t those applications/documents etc. being read from the drive? In that case having flash memory would provide the highest increase in speed… right?
Yeah, I saw someone (Paul O’Brien?) use the word “mehxcitement” or “mehdiocre” for this kind of thing. Still, for $280, I might take a look at the 80 when it comes out. I’ve been thinking about the Nook Color, but this would obviously be a much better deal for the price. Interesting move on the 4:3 aspect ratio for the 80. I guess it’s worked for the iPad, so it should be ok.
...Like those devices, the G9 tablets run Android 3.2, though a decidedly less skinned up version than Samsung's device. And their 1.5GHz processor assures that they can handle the OS with ease. Archos's tablets also have a few tricks up their collective sleeve. Flip the devices over, and you find a kickstand on one side and a slot on the other than opens up to reveal a USB port designed for the company's proprietary 3G stick.
Archos has been making tablets for over 2 years. They’ve actually released one 5″ Android “tablet” back in fall 2009, so they are quite familiar with them. I wouldn’t say their tablets look as good as recent Galaxy Tab devices, buy they are usually solidly built and come with reasonable prices for the specs they have.
The current 2 tablets being shown at IFA are 8″ and 10.1″ in size, and come with the latest Android Honeycomb 3.2 operating system, which is a a little surprising,, especially since Honeycomb hasn’t even been made open-source, yet.
It’s almost as if manufacturers can upgrade Android 3.xx faster than they can upgrade Android 2.xx devices. Could it be because of the better architecture of Honeycomb (and soon ICS), or is it just becaue Google didn’t let them customize the OS too much? Either way, I’m happy to see this, and I hope after Android ICS launches, we won’t have to see any phone or tablet that comes to market with a one year old or even 6 months old Android version. As for the older phones, I hope they, too, can get the latest version of Android within a couple of months or so – all of them (that may be a little too optimistic, though).
...Archos isn’t a big name in the tablet industry (yet) but it has managed to constantly update its range of tablets with new and improved products. During the IFA 2011 show in Berlin, Archos has introduced two new tablets: the 101 G9 and the 80 G9. Archos brought to IFA 2011 two new tablets for those who like a well-sized gadget and a more compact one.
Besides Samsung and Toshiba, Archos has on display at the 2011 IFA new Android Honeycomb tablet offering. What differs the 101 G9 and 80 G9 from the competition are hard drive and specific 3G option. Unlike solid state drive-only tablets, these optionally have a 250GB HDD, while SSD choices are 8GB and 16GB. A proprietary SIM card USB stick for 3G connection is located on the lids of the slates. It can be plugged out of the tablets and used with a laptop or other computer with a USB port. Very convenient.
The tablets also utilize Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
