Thanks for the information.

Since I'm new to Archos, but not in android in general, you wouldn't mind me asking a rather stupid question. :)

When I update my fw I am not going to lose any apps and data am I? Thanks in advance :)

No, you won't loose anything in these updates. However, I'm not sure whether that would also be the case with ICS upgrade. Time will tell. :)

Thanks for the info mate, updating now! :)

Yeah when the ICS comes I guess it will wipe the device. Which by the way is something I'm planning to do when the time comes, since a clean install before a major update is usually better.
