Froyo & Market on the A7ht

Someone hacked it, the Archos 7 home tablet. What a pleasure to see froyo and google market running on the gadget. At times it seems to struggle during bootup, this could be due to the lack of cell-network hardware.
With expanded options of market, the cheap tablet is really useful to me now. Let ne give you an example, there are apps out there for watching webcams... perfect to keep an eye on one or more grabbers...
Froyo is not slowing down the device, this was the first thing I feared. What  like about froyo in particular, the orientation of the plain desktop changes with rotation of the device. Occasionally is comes really handy.
Now looking for some interesting ham-radio apps...
