I'm sure that if they had released it and found the bug later you would have said the same. But that's quite normal: there's nothing that can satisfy the little blogger filled with hate and frustration.]]>Dec 28th 2009 6:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/
Me, I'll take the Chardonnay any day over buggy software.]]>Dec 28th 2009 6:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/Dec 28th 2009 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/so you find it better for the end-user to be 100% on 1.5 ?
Im happily on my droid/milestone with 2.0 and rather prefer this than 1.5 which I had on my Archos 5 IT (sold due to daily [is there a word like hourly?] rebooting)]]>Dec 28th 2009 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/

it's very hard to fix due to android's nature as it has to be optimized for certain hardware, otherwise android would be far behind and be quite sluggish.

think of windows, due to the fact it has to be able to work on many types of hardware, they can't optimize it without it taking up a lot of R&D. If they did optimize it for say a Pentium 4 2.8GHz with 1GB of memory, it would be as fast as using unoptimized Windows with a Core i7.]]>Dec 28th 2009 8:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/
The loss of the market was a bit crap but I've found most of the apps I want and installed the apk files.

They know quite a few people don't need those codecs, and since they have to pay for those codecs, it would raise the price unnecessarily to add them in.]]>Dec 28th 2009 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/28/archos-5-says-hello-goodbye-to-android-1-6/
Nice defense, Unverified. Now, let's change 'Archos' for 'Apple'. Can you imagine the uproar from the apple hating legions if they tried to pull a stunt like that? I can. Why should we let Archos get away with it?
