Archos To Release Developer Firmware

on 11/28/2009, filed in Home > General

It looks like Archos is quite supportive of developers, evidenced by its recent PR that confirms that the company is making a proof-of-concept “developer edition” firmware for its ARCHOS 5 and ARCHOS 7 Internet Media Tablets. The firmware will be based on the Angstrom Linux distribution, though it certainly isn’t meant to be a commercial distro. Are you planning to tweak your Archos device with this when it’s released?

Archos: Archos is a French consumer electronics company that manufactures tablets, eReaders, MP3 players, media players, and notebooks. The company once manufactured portable storage devices, digital camcorders, and portable computers. It was founded in 1988 by Henri Crohas.
