Archos publishes an update on the faster OMAP4 processor speed availability in the G9 tablets:
Archos G9 Turbo 1.2Ghz models start to be released by the end of October.
Archos G9 Turbo (Plus?) 1.5Ghz models start to be released by December.
Archos G9 1Ghz are being released right now.
It seems that there is still no confirmation if the Turbo tablets come with 1GB RAM or not. Price difference for Turbo seems to be to pay $30 more, which doubles ROM to 16GB and might also double RAM to 1GB.
