Slander has a specific meaning, and as for disparage, well, you can call my opinions disparaging of Archos if you think they are, that's your view. > alsutton has coordinated constant Archos bashing on the archosfans > forum since September 2nd until about October 15th when he first > announced he was seeking legal advice. First off you need to get your facts right. We announced we were seeking legal advice on the 16th of October and my last post was made on the 28th of October where I clearly stated my reasons for stopping posting were due to your continual attempts to mislead users, which, when I asked you to back them up, you responded with personal insults directed at me. Secondly, as I've told you before, I wanted to help users determine what was an Archos issue and what was an Android issue so they wouldn't try the A5 and walk away thinking Android was at fault. Archos did some heavy customisations to Android (from software buttons on the UI through to running a separate media framework on the same device), and hence the possibility for confusion. You only need to look on your own sites forums to see the problems users were having, and it's separating things like the random crashes, problems going into suspend, time to acquire a GPS lock, which are most likely issues specific to the Archos, from things like no WPA2 Enterprise support and problems with hidden SSIDs, which are generic Android issues and are registered in b.android.com, so that users don't think that if they buy an Android device from another manufacturer they're going to see all the same problems. > All things from: > - Recommending that people not buy the Archos 5 Internet Tablet in countless posts Which is something numerous other people and reviews have said in relation to consumers buying it. > - Advertising for alternatives to Archos 5 Internet Tablet in countless posts You have a forum called "Competitors" which is specifically for this reason, so what exactly is wrong with that? > - Claiming to have inside knowledge from Google engineers that Google Marketplace and Google Apps would never be available on Archos 5 Internet Tablet in countless posts Would you like to point at a post where I claim to have "inside knowledge from Google engineers"?. I don't remember ever claiming that, but what I do remeber is pointing out that the A5 lacks many of the hardware features needed for a Google Experience device, and this is something T3 published in their review at http://www.t3.com/reviews/ipod-and-mp3-players/all-mp3-players/archos-android-5-internet-tablet-review (third paragraph after the set of 4 links) > - Plenty of other trolling posting controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant and off-topic messages That may be your view of them, other people had different views, and given that most of your responses to my posts were generally littered with insults aimed at me or a refusal to provide evidence for you claims I hardly think you're in a good position. > I'm looking forward to see the emails.

Probably his dream, to finally have an opportunity make some > money on his marketplace project. Once Archos release them from being covered by the NDA then I will be happy to supply them to you. In terms of the money involved, well, do you really think Archos would have supplied us with a contract and a commitment to countersign it if we were just looking for a huge payout? Al.
