Archos 5 IT Adobe Flash 10.2 Works on Android

Video Prof that Adobe Flash 10.2 works on the Archos 5 Internet Tablet with Android...Unfortunately there are some things you have to do to the Archos 5 IT before it will be capable of running Adobe Flash 10.2First of which the Archos 5 needs to run Android 2.2 ... Archos has not stepped up to the plate to give us an optimized version of Android 2.2 that will work.Archos is still stuck on Android 1.6 even though the current firmware is optimized for 3D games and the media center (which by the way is really cool...more on that later)But Archos has released the source code and SDE for the Archos 5 IT but that IMO is just not enough.So the folks over at openAOS have released 2.2 for the Archos 5 IT it runs and seems to rum pretty good ... Just a little slow ... and they are on version Alpha 5...

Android ePad 10" ZT-180 mini Review

Had the opportunity to pick up an Android ePad and Play with it for a week. Here are my impressions of the ePad / ZT-180.First off the ePad did not come with much in the box.
