Archos 5A - SDE

[Andrew]

According to a post by nz (archos staff) on archosfans.com they will be releasing the SDE for Archos android device soon.

Doesn't affect me, just thought someone might be interested.

BTW, the reason for the SDE seems to be that Archos somehow get away better with regard to tax or customs when they declare their stuff as computers rather than media players. But that implies that other operating systems can be installed on them. Hence the SDE.

The SDE for the Archos 5IT is out already:
