DigitalRise X9 multitouch tablet includes Intel Atom, Windows 7; priced at $780

There's another tablet on the table: the DigitalRise X9 multitouch-screen tablet has made its way into the fold. With its strong specs, it could be a strong competitor - if it weren't for the hefty price tag.

With tablets becoming the hot ticket item of the year, DigitalRise has implemented quite a bit beneath that 10.2-inch color TFT touchscreen, including:

• Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz processor
• Windows 7
• 160 GB SATA hard drive
• 2 GB RAM
• 3000mAh Li-ion battery
• GPS
• 3G
• 1.3-megapixel webcam
• SD/MS/MMC/MS-Pro card reader

But this won't come cheap: $780, which seems a bit on the expensive side for a tablet. So if this piques your interest, don't drop it.
