Based on the last CES Archos launched their Archos 101 Home tablet. Archos Home tablet edition has a much lower specs compared to Archos Internet tablet edition but in the video provided at Archosfans.com it says that it has support to Gingerbread and Future Version of android.
Does this mean that the Current Archos 101IT edition can still be upgrade to those version of android?
Any thoughts in thi matter???

Of course it can be upgraded to the newer OS version. The big question is will Archos actually do it. I'm really hoping they will but won't be surprised if they don't.
if archos won't upgrade our A101IT maybe others can make custom roms? have any of you seen or heard if one is under development?

No one has mentioned making a Gingerbread ROM.
i stumbled upon a video on youtube. the video is captured at last weeks CES.
in the video they ask the guy if honeycomb will be on the tablet. he says "uh yah"
he also mentions how full flash capability will be available by end of month.
check out the video

lol. Not much of a commitment. Plus, this is the same crew that tried to say that the 7 Home Tablet is a Gen8 tablet. So, I think I will not be holding my breath on this one.
What do you think about 256 RAM issue? I suppose that 2.3 (even 3.0) could be run on 101IT, however, it may work very slow!

Won't know until we try. They said the same thing about Froyo until it was running on devices that had 256MB.

Exactly. We get into a Windows and Mac mindset but Android is different from those systems in that each progressive version gets a little better at using system resources, not worse so you don't always have to upgrade the hardware to run the new software. My original MyTouch phone with a 600 ghz processor and 128 mb of memory runs much smoother on froyo than it ever did on donut or eclair.
That said, there are diminishing returns and Honeycomb is really a major step up in terms of functionality so I am not holding my breath that Archos will take the time to upgrade considering they will be probably be putting out new devices by then. I love my A70 but I sort of look at it like an early adopter type device to see how useful the form factor for me (it is...I have an hour to 90 minute commute and it is perfect).
I plan to upgrade and maybe even get a contract (yikes!) for a honeycomb tablet later this year. I would never consider $275 chump change but if I can use it for 8 months to a year and then sell it for $100-150 to put toward an upgrade, I would be happy.
I considered the Galaxy Tab but a 2 year contract on this generation of devices is a bad move in my opinion.

600 ghz? Wouldn't your phone explode?
no - but the battery does not last very l
i hope they do make an upgrade, but they might wait until honeycomb cause its supposed to be for tablets or something
i thought better be hoping to the developers to made the gingerbread rom than hoping the archos team made it

i'd think if you go the SDE route and boot android from SD that the community would update it even if archos doesnt.
Just wondrering if the Archos 101it will get a Gingerbread update soon as I have seen this for a Arnova 10.1
"Archos Arnova 10" G2 4GB Tablet
Arnova introduces its next generation of AndroidTM based tablets powered by a super fast 1 GHz processor. This second generation comes with an ultra-responsive multitouch capacitive screen and optimised AndroidTM 2.3 Gingerbread operating system.

I found it on their facebook profile in discussions tab. Heres the thread where they post it.
Italian Milestone 2 (just come on the market, with many months of delay) has 2.2.2 version.
I think it's the update we're waiting
My UK version has 2.2.
In a thread where I posted some bugs with this ROM, they also confirmed an update is on it's way. I however refuse to believe it will be 2.3. More like 2.2.3 with the keyboard fixed and mp3 cracking problem fixed.
Discussion not available...!?
I do expect some updates for my Motorola Milestone 2, too!
It's okay to not treat my M2 like a flagship but still, some updates for a brand new electronic device is obligatory nowadays!

A Nandroid backup however, would be realistic.
does anybody know if this update would apply for phones in Asia/Asia-Pac?
its such a pity that such a stellar phone is let down by poor update schedules from the manufacturers.

Nope, in this post (Chinese) :

Hongkong Manager of Motorola said that Milestone 2 will not upgrade to 2.3 in Asia/Asia-Pac,
In P.R.China, even the version of Official Moto SBFs are MLS2GC_U6_2.5.0_SIGNED or some above 2.2, actually, they are still Android 2.2.

I agree fully with you. My prev. phone is a Sony-Ericsson one ( C702c ), and, they never fixed any bug in next three years after the phone release. Maybe Motorola will upgrade MS2 to Android 2.4 or some version later, but locking BootLoader is quite unwise, they should leave the choice to customer.
Sorry for my poor English.

my previous phone was an X1, and they only launched a ROM update with bug fixes and slightly better performance (still on WM6.1 though) a year after the phone was launched. sadly though back then, there wasnt much competition, nor were there many phones with a slide out QWERTY, and the X1 had the market dominance esp with its good looks and superior hardware. times changed though, and right now the MS2 is lagging behind its main competitor.
what i hear is the MS2's main competitor, the Desire Z is getting a 2.3 update within this quarter of the year. makes me kinda regret getting this. so what if the desire Z has a slower processor, at least they r updating its software diligently. hats off to HTC for that. Thing is upgrading to 2.3 is one thing, the least they can do is fix the known bugs.

QFT! I do not understand why the bug fixes have not been pushed out. The mods on the support forum have mentioned having newer firmware than retail, so I assume they have made some fixes, and there is this newer Italian firmware that has fixes too.
The worst part of it is being left in the dark.

Desire Z's processor is slower than Milestone 2, but Motorola just OVERCLOCKED OMAP3630, its design frequency is 720MHz, Motorola sales it as 1Ghz in MS2, and, motorola Droid 2 Global's CPU runs on 1.2Ghz for retail when OMAP3640's design freq. is 1Ghz. Besides, Adreno205(41M Polys/s & 245M Pix/s) in Desire Z is more powerful than SGX530 (14M Polys/s & ?M Pix/s), means Desire Z has a greater graphic performance.
At least, HTC never locks BootLoader.
Forget it, maybe my next device is not a motorola one, but I'm enjoying MS2 now.

The OMAP3630 is designed for 1GHz. It's the OMAP 3620 that is designed for 720MHz.
The Adreno 205 is indeed more powerful according to benchmarks, but I think you should consider the detail that Motorolo's handsets use a higher resolution than most other devices (just by 54x480 pixels, but still).

Not true. Recent HTC devices have the bootloader locked.
Old Android devices from HTC are also locked AFAIK, but not with such high encryption as used by Motorola...

I was really confused, I saw the data at wikipedia like this in early 2011:
Handset channels:
OMAP3640 - 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 + PowerVR SGX530 GPU + 430 MHz C64x+ DSP + ISP (Image Signal Processor)+IVA 2+ hardware accelerator
OMAP3630 - 720 MHz ARM Cortex A8 + PowerVR SGX530 GPU + 430 MHz C64x+ DSP + ISP (Image Signal Processor)+IVA 2+ hardware accelerator

You can also found it on Wikipedia history pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Texas_Instruments_OMAP&oldid=406270321
Actually, I learned this in most sites in Chinese said 3630 designed for 720Mhz at first. But current page of Texas Instruments OMAP on Wikipedia said 3630 designed for 1Ghz and 3640 designed for 1.2Ghz. And, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP just described like wiki English before.
I can't found any frequency data on TI official site. Anyone have ideas on this?

At first when moto produced defy in India, the system is android 2.1, with bl3, this version is not so much but it exists indeed.
guys don't you think that Moto defy can be great on Gingerbread and higher
The Defy was released with Eclair because they went after the profit: Motorola promised one system update and delivered it - FroYo, but buggy and unstable. Then they released the Defy+ (with a slightly bigger battery and an overclocked CPU) but with Gingerbread, thinking it would be enough to convince the majority of the users that it was worth it to buy the "new" model.
It's probably the same tactic as the one used by Intel: tick-tock (but at Intel they at can justify it by hardware limitations).
"Tick" means a big step ahead, new hardware, new features. "Tock" contains some improvements and tweaks, not a real reason to update. Defy was the tick and Defy+ was the tock.
Probably the 3rd gen Defy will be a tick and a real reason to upgrade .

According to wikipedia, it was available for sampling in Q3 of 2014. But I must be missing something if the year denotes if something is current gen or not. Considering the 808 is often chosen over the 810 for various reasons, what better CPU could there be for the Priv right now?

I would guess it would take a lot for Samsung to let someone else use their CPU, and it would likely be more expensive. Intel devices can do cool stuff like running Windows natively on the Zenfone 2 for example, but Android x86 has its own set of issues.
