Archos Gen8 tablets receive software update

When it comes to tablets, French manufacturer Archos is not left behind the game with their offerings to date, although they haven't really made a meal out of it. The Archos Gen9 tablets have yet to roll out as those will sport Android 3.1 Honeycomb, but that doesn't mean the engineers over at Archos have been doing nothing – no sir, they did work on a software update for Gen8 tablets that were released in 2010. The latest software update will target the Archos 28, 32, 43, 70, and 101 tablets, where all of them are still running on Android 2.2 Froyo. Sorry guys, but this means no Android 2.3 Gingerbread anytime soon, although the latest update does bring along with it a bunch of improvements.

You can expect an updated Adobe Flash Player to keep up with the times, while a subtitle wizard is thrown into the mix so that your videos can now be subtitled. Not only that, it will also have an improved battery life estimate, so you need not play the guessing game with what you see on the display, as you might just have better luck at the casino tables.

Other fixes allude to audio, video, and Wi-Fi bugs. Well, what are you waiting for? Go download the latest software update already!
