Continuing my ongoing infatuation with — but not yet committed to buying — the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, from time to time I will do these posts which might not have much to do with the e-reading aspects of that device. And there might also be some Android OS-related items too.

Acer to underclock the 1 GHz Snapdragon

New Sony Ericsson Rachael UI video hits, still looks nothing like Android
People who wind up buying this need to know one thing: Aldiko. I also wonder if this custom UI will further threaten a fracturing of Android?

TubeDroid from Sirius Applications
Now you can download all your favorite YouTube videos on the go, right to your phone (or other Android device) – with one tap. Just click on a YouTube video link in the browser (or the built in YouTube search) and select Download. Presto, the video starts downloading in the background.
As far as I know, the iPhone lacks that capability. I currently use a Greasemonkey script for Firefox that automagically embeds a “Download as MP4” link in a YouTube page. This is because this crap PC sometimes can’t play YouTube videos, so I must rip them to view locally. To have this ability on the Archos 5 IT itself would be wonderful!

Oh that poor Archos. He is going to perform surgery on it!
