Archos Gen 8 Lineup Gets FroYo
The Archos Gen 8 lineup gets an update to Android 2.2, among other things, with the latest mass-firmware release from Archos. The firmware update brings the Archos 28/32/43/70/101 Internet Tablets to Android 2.2, amidst various other bug fixes (external GPS now works), optimisations (better battery management) and the like:
- Higher performance: Just In Time compiler (JIT technology), makes applications run up to 5 times faster than previous 2.1 Eclair (firmware 1.0.84).
- Enhanced Microsoft® Exchange support: it is now possible to synchronize contacts and calendar events.
- Allow to install more 3rd party applications by installing them on the internal storage memory (for applications that support it).
- New widgets: home screen “tips widget” providing some helpful information.
A good show from Archos. Get them here if you own an Archos device!
