Officially, Sony’s PSPgo is only clocking in at 333MHz like the rest of its brothers and sisters, but as the gang at Sony Insider found out in the FCC filing, the internal processor actually maxes out at 480MHz. What that means for gamers is probably nothing in the near future, since the firmware’ll underclock it to standard speeds and we’ve seen absolutely no sign Sony’s interested in releasing software exclusively for the UMD-less iteration at this point. Of course, the opportunity to capitalize on the upped hardware is gonna be there, and we still remember a noticeable difference in the technical quality of games released after Sony bumped its original PSP’s clockspeed from 266MHz to its max 333MHz, but for now, it’s just something to keep in the back of your mind.

Looks like the Archos 9 Windows 7 tablet has made it out of the labs (and controlled show floor settings) and into the hands of Crave UK, where that seemingly-amazing resistive touchscreen continues to impress — so much so that they initially thought it was a capacitive unit. We actually pinged Crave ed Nate Lanxon to find out what was up, and the real story appears to be a mystery — either Archos PR is mistaken in telling everyone that it’s a resistive screen, or the company has somehow improved the tech to the point where it’s virtually indistinguishable from a capacitive display. Given our experience with previous Archos resistive touchscreen devices that felt like mush, we’ve got to say we’re going with Occam’s Razor on this and that it’s really capacitive, but we’re definitely ready to be proven wrong — hey Archos, you feel like sending us a new toy to play with?
