Archos 5 Internet Tablet has nothing to do with hacking of firmwares for HTC phones. Archos makes their own implementation of Android, to be the first in the industry with 800x480 and 1280x720 Android interfaces, Bluetooth and USB Keyboard and Mouse inputs, 720p video playback of all codecs, flac, Ogg, On2 video codecs, Youtube HD support.
Archos is not in the business of hacking devices for "leeching" more bandwidth on T-Mobile's 3G network. Tethering and other such things are disabled by T-Mobile, HTC and Google for a reason, T-Mobile doesn't have enough bandwidth on their networks to include that in basic Internet access bandwidth for their tiny resolution Android phone. If nobody in here has seen any of Gmail, Contacts, Street, Maps, Listen, Voice and other Google apps running on any 800x480 or higher resolution Android devices, even prototypes and beta firmwares, well then no problem. I guess most developer who have access to that are under strict NDAs since Chrome OS basically is all about porting the Android OS over to higher resolution screens and bring the full Chrome browser experience to cheap ARM Cortex A8 based devices. Archos is just the first actual product released in the world to step into that category of Android devices, and thus early adopters of that Archos device will have to wait for Google to release their "Google experience" to such this superior category of devices. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
