10 Android apps I use on Archos 5 IT
UPDATED: Google Maps now working!
Click here to see more
I have been using Archos 5 IT quite a lot, but the missing access to Android Market has made installing apps a bit too hard..
Main apps has been the internet browser and Twidroid but I needed some others too. Here are the 10 top apps I have been using with download links:
1. YouTube player
Archos has it's own player onboard, but it is far from stable and about a week ago stopped working with youtube videos. YouTube changed something inside their api and Archos have been slow to fix it. ( same happened to other related 3rd party apps but they fixed the issues in hours )
This player can't do HD videos like Archos own player but it's stable and fast to open. After installing it you get popup asking which player to use for videos. ( you can keep it asking or make it default )
You can't download it from Archos own apps store but I found it from here.
2. TubeDroid YouTube downloader
As the name says, it downloads youtube videos. Works fine and even keeps the videos under it's own list. You can choose which player to use with it.
Available here for $1.99 payment with PayPal or Credit Card.
3. AnySoftKeyboard
On screen keyboard for multiple languages. I like it more than Archos default.
Download from AndAppStore
4. Settings switches
CurveFish has selection of switches for easy access to setting like brightness, GPS, bluetooth, wifi and autorotate. I use the brightness swich.
Download from CurveFish
5. BatteryLife Widget
Big battery meter widget. It shows the battery life more accurate than the tiny default one.
Download from CurveFish
6. AndExplorer
Basic file explorer, but lets you open media like videos on any player where Archos own always opens on it's own player/viewer.
Download from AndAppStore
7. Meridian Player Evolve
Video and audio player for Android. Let's you play music or podcast on the background while surfing etc. ( default one turns off on background )
Download from AndAppStore
8. Skype Lite for Android
Skype app without voip..( uuuh! ) good for chatting.
Version 1.0.0.5 here
Mirrors
9. Nimbuzz
IM client supporting many networks. New version let's you send pictures too.
Get from Nimbuzz
10. Big PlanetTW
As Acrhos 5 IT doesn't have access to Android Market nor Google Mapps app ( and even if you get any G app, they won't install ) you may want to use this basic Google maps app with support for GPS, search and offline use. You can download maps and use it for very basic map browsing with GPS without internet connection.
Download from here
UPDATE: Google Maps now working! Get it from here
There must be tons of other good applications and vidgets for it but as you need to hunt them it's frustrating. I hope Archos updates to newer Android with all Google goodies and Market soon...
Any good apps you are using? ( with download links please ;) )

Google Android running on Eee PC
Click here to see more 
Guys at VentureBeat are testing Android on Asus Eee PC 1000. They got all base stuff like graphics and wifi working in few hours, so it sounds like doable job...
Is there point running Android on 10 inch screen x86 hardware is another thing..
I think Android is better on a pocketable or smaller ARM based devices. I would prefer full desktop OS on bigger devices...
It's still good to have options.. Let's see where this is going..
