The Archos 5 internet Tablet recently received an Android update: http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates.html?country=il&lang=en&#firm
Out of curiosity, have you installed this update? Did it change anything regarding this situation? I've been waiting for a non-phone Android device to use as my personal device that I could also use for development but I ruled out the Archos 5 given the limitations Archos initially forced upon this device. I'd love to know if this update restored any of the development options to the Applications menu.
