Back on the Google Groups page we had a discussion going about what the processor speed was. Well, the Archos 7 Home Tablet uses a 600 mhz ARM9 processor. so, that should prove that ARM9 is capable of running at that speed.One thing i noticed is on video the Archos was playing back video and running the ebook reader app much smoother. http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/13/archos-7-home-tablet-review/
