An Archos spokesperson in the UK has confirmed to Pocket-lint that there will be a simultaneous event in the UK on the same day.
Rumours suggest that the tablet will feature a 5-inch touchscreen display, pipping Apple to the punch of its much rumoured, but still yet unconfirmed iTablet device set to launch in 2010.
Rumours for the Archos version suggest 720p video support, HDMI output, and natively embedded OpenGL libraries.
