Archos 5 gets full Android Market at last

on 04/27/2010 18:09 PDT

It has been a long time in coming, but Archos 5 users are finally able to gain access to the full Android Market, completing the tablet experience. This is in stark contrast to other Android-powered tablets that have limited access to free apps or even worse, none at all to the Android Market. This bodes well for the supposed flurry of Android-powered tablets that will be hitting the market later this year, and we do hope that opening up Android Market to all will further boost the number of apps available there to compete with Apple’s behemoth. Wondering whether the Archos 5 is suitable for you? Why not read our review before you make a purchase decision?

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
