Unfortunately Android 2.2 Froyo is out-of-date, do Archos release an update to the latest 2.3.6 Gingerbread ?? Not that I can find !!<div><br></div><div>Also Google's stance is that Android 2.2 Froyo is not Ideal for Tablets ! <a href="http://hothardware.com/News/Google-Admits-That-Froyo-Isnt-Perfect-For-Tablet-PCs/">http://hothardware.com/News/Google-Admits-That-Froyo-Isnt-Perfect-For-Tablet-PCs/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Therefore Android Official App Store is not available, £149.00 is cheap but will Archos offer long term updates ???</div><div><br></div><div>One gets what one pays for............................</div>

<div><br></div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">Hello
Luggers</font>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">It would seem
that work commitments will leave me unable to attend next
Wednesday.</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">Anyway my
thoughts on the future:</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">In the home the
Laptop and PC will be replaced by an Internet TV, Samsung SmartTV is a good
example: <a href="http://www.samsung.com/uk/tvapps/" target="_blank">http://www.samsung.com/uk/tvapps/</a></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">General use
will be undertaken by Smart Phones and Tablets, running either Google's
Android or Apple iOS Operating Systems. I personally believe that
Microsoft will become a less dominant player.</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">Google are
trying to buy Motorola which make the Xoom Tablet, which I believe is the best
alternative to an Apple iPad:</font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><a href="http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/GB-EN/Consumer-Products-and-Services/ANDROID-TABLETS/MOTOROLA-XOOM-GB-EN" target="_blank">http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/GB-EN/Consumer-Products-and-Services/ANDROID-TABLETS/MOTOROLA-XOOM-GB-EN</a></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><br></font></div>
<div><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">Hopefully
discussing the future and the recent interest in WUBI, will tie in nicely with
my brother's talk on Cloud Computing on the 21st.</font></div>
