Hi, I launch this topic and apparently there is animation :)
First I'm a simple developer. My goal is to publish my apps everywhere to have a lot of users and fans. I don't care if Archos takes my apps from slideme or another website. If a specific website, sharing apps, doesn't agree with the Archos behaviour, they can contact them and discuss, but what is the problem for myself? None ! My source code is not shared If I don't want, so my apps will not pirated...I read a lot of message relating pirated apps, and apparently Google search engine gives a lot of links to pirated apps and it's not really the sense provided by Archos and its appslib. I don't want enter in discussion between Funky and Archos, they talk through press release, and if necessary legals will be used to resolve this issue. But If I'm developer, the appslib place is not a problem to share my apps but a new way to touch new users, new fans, and perhaps to have new revenus when appslib accepts monetized apps. This is an Android developer point of view. regards Arnaud On 8 nov, 09:14, Al Sutton <[email protected]> wrote: > I welcome Charbax making my posts publicly available so that people > can make their own minds up, and I just wish Archos would also allow > us to do the same with the emails and documents that back our claims. > > Please remember, some of my posts on his site have quoted text at the > start which and on the two line summary view that Charbax posted the > link to it looks like I wrote those quotes, so if you see something > you object to please view the whole post with quote formatting. > > Now this really should go to -discuss. > > Al. > > On Nov 8, 7:25 am, "Fred Grott(Android > Expert,http://mobilebytes.wordpress.com)" > > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Charbox your slander definition seems to be somewhat unique and > > different. > > > In most posts I see a constant theme of a developer who bought an > > Archos device and who loves it detailing specific issues that hamper > > the user experience.. > > > On Nov 7, 6:38 pm, Charbax <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > alsutton has spent huge amounts of time over the past couple months > > > posting disparaging posts against Archos on thehttp://forum.archosfans.com > > > , posting every type of "unfounded and slanderous allegation" against > > > Archos that one can nearly think of, that were not "sensible degree of > > > scepticism", that are part of him having a premeditated agenda in > > > trying to publicly attack Archos reputation, stir controversial, > > > inflammatory, irrelevant, or off-topic discussions on the unofficial > > > Archosfans forum, that is in fact about participating in spreading FUD > > > about a competitor (appslib vs andappstore) on public internet forums > > > without a full disclosure. > > > > When you are contemplating to prepare a court case against a company, > > > you don't go spend 2 months disparaging that competing company on the > > > internet forums for that company (maybe even blogs). > > > > That'd be like Microsoft employees spreading lies about apple on apple > > > fansites and forums a couple months before they announce to sue each > > > other. > > > > alsutton's favorite Archos bashing theme was to basically recommend > > > that nobody should buy the Archos 5 Internet Tablet with Android > > > because it would in his knowledgeable and expert mind and with all his > > > exclusive contacts in the Android development community (even with him > > > having all kinds of contacts with Google engineers), that he could > > > always with all kinds of certainty say that Archos would never be able > > > to use the Google Apps and the Google Marketplace.
