The OS is Angstrom, what I believe the new Gen 8 SDE firmware runs for linux. Most Pandora programs are packaged in the PND format. http://pandorawiki.org/PND:FAQ

Li-ion batteries have 1/5th the energy density as TNT (which is a lot). It sounds like your A32 is faulty in some way, return it before it catches fire or explodes.

How many people do they actually have working on Gen 8 software?

Make sure your cable is good or try another one. Try another device like a mouse or MP3 player and see if it gets any power.

When you are in the browser long press the button that looks like five horizontal lines, this will bring up the settings in most applications. It is also the menu through which you can clear temporary files.

Are you on 2.2? I've been trying to get any kind of Flash working on 2.1 with no luck.

Compared to a previous video of Crazy Taxi running on the Beagleboard, the new version is much faster and has many, many less visual bugs. drk|Raziel and Zezu are gods among men for their work on NullDC/NullDCe. I doubt if it will be playable on current hardware, but early Tegra2 tests (devices ...

I haven't had any freezes on my 32, but the moment I got it I replaced the default Archos launcher with Launcher Pro from the Market and I kill non-active apps just about every time I quit one with Advanced Task Killer, which takes at max 3 seconds. The difference in speed is easily noticed.

If ...

I didn't have to install the new market to get what is apparently 5.0 (by version number) on my A32, but I can't figure out 3D.

Just add the check. As long as you keep to the 'top' applications in the Market there's no danger to your device from Market and none at all from Archos' own AppsLib. The danger with this check comes from side-loading sketchy apps (by getting an .apk some place on the net and installing it) which ...

Has Google gone down your street with Street View? Google Maps on my 32 has my exact location, the only way that's possible is if they compared the MAC data from my router to their database. There was some scandal months ago about how Google captured the MAC address of every router their street view ...

The Archos system manager for killing tasks is a likely culprit, it tries to close everything that's running but many of these apps start again immediately, slowing the system. I use Launcher Pro, Advanced Task Killer, and haven't upgraded to 2.2, no problems with 3D games after task killing, good ...

The first two are alternatives to default Archos launcher, I used Launcher Pro which is much faster than the default. Astro is a file manager.

Well first you plug it in and let it charge to 100%.

I didn't update to 2.2, too much of a mess.

Install marketplace, install Launcher Pro or ADW.Launcher. Install Astro, install Advanced Task Killer. Then browse the marketplace to your heart's content.

Archos 32 here. I tried the latest PSX version and Spyro ran surprisingly fast - after task killing. But without multitouch it's impossible to control. Also installed Snesoid but couldn't get Wiimote mapping to work, though I didn't try much at it. A PS3 controller would be ideal, or even a 360 pad ...

I wouldn't trust that charger, or any chargers from ebay unless you plan to test them thoroughly first.

That said, wall chargers can and should give out more than 500mA, usually 1A. But I would purchase an official accessory or name brand for any phone. I use wall charger from my Nook which has a ...

Regarding that benchmark: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/17/quadrant-benchmark-app-not-so-awesome/
It's not accurate at all, you can see here how much a difference a firmware update to 2.2 makes for the Droid X http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/20/droid-x-running-froyo-quadrant-benchmark/#
Even ...

I prefer Handbrake, but there is a GUI that greatly improves the functionality of Avivo while preserving the speed advantage. http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=296314

It's an Archos thing. They've been behind schedule for every single update for the past 4 generations of devices. Sometimes they don't come at all. So I wouldn't expect to get 2.2 this year. Even so, I'm considering one of the new devices for a PMP. You have to know what you are getting and adjust ...

For all the mythical software in the world, people should be aware of JayFoxRox's in development PSP emulator for OMAP3 systems. http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/47270-pandora-psp/ - There hasn't been progress for a couple of months, but it's an advanced, user mode emulator with limited ...
