A70's New Firmware

I was quite very busy the past few days and the new firmware for the A70 was posted on 16Dec without me noticing. My A70 is currently on 2.0.54 on Android 2.2.1 (FroYo) and i will update it to the current FW2.0.71 The firmware can be downloaded from Archos' site here. The changelog is listed at Archos' site here. I'm not really sure if I'm going to benefit on any of the improvements :p

BTW, I have collected all the golden eggs!
Found this [funny] screenshot (which is different from the one I got) from inverty.com:

Angry Birds Seasons, here I come!

The Golden Eggs

I'm hooked!

It's been a long time since I was hooked on a game. Angry Birds' levels are witty and puzzling. I had to search youtube for solutions on some levels on how to get 3 stars. To get 3stars, its either you only use 1 bird to get rid of the pigs or do a maximum damage on their defenses (structures made from wood/ice|glass(?)/cement blocks|planks. The 'physics' of the game is just amazing!

I'm also hoping this game will come to the PC... so more people will get addicted :D

Squawk!!!

GingerBread

I'm pretty much impressed with the FroYo (Frozen Yogurt or Android 2.2) on the Archos 70 Internet Tablet.
It is really working like a small PC... and got me thinking... I want to replace the OS on my eeePC701 with the Android! The eeePC701 comes with 4GB solid state HD memory, 512MB RAM and Xandros OS. I have upgraded the RAM to 2GB already and it would really be interesting how would Android run on it with the Celeron 900MHz CPU. I'm not a techie person so I will stop here :D
The eeePC was bought just 2 years ago and it's getting much love anymore. I can use some apps here and there but not as useful or playable like the Android. An Android with a mouse... really something very interesting :D
More on Android at wikipedia. Android is now on its 2.3 version which is called GingerBread.
