Archos Droids compatibility (Iscore Baseball)

Has anyone tried loading this on the Archos line of Droid products?
I have the new Archos 101 Tablet.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

I just received my Archos 101 today. Loaded the software, but it hangs terribly (3-5) after making a selection.

Have you had any luck?

From what we have seen, the Archos 101 does not come with the Android Marketplace. Usually there is a reason for that like it does not meet some minimum performance standards set by Google. To get the Android Marketplace on the device, did you root it or do something along those lines? Or is Archos now officially supporting the Android Marketplace? If they are officially supporting it, we are very surprised to hear it does no work as Google has told us devices that support Android OS 2.1 or above + the Android Marketplace should all be able to run iScore.

Archos is a part of the android marketplace, but I still keep getting the error; there are no android phones assoc with this account. I do have a market account though. I may give up and goto an ipad.

We actually just received an Archos 101 today to experiment with. It does not come with the Android Marketplace pre-installed. It comes with "AppsLib". We are going to see what it takes to install the Android Marketplace, but we have to guess there is good reason for this.

Our initial impression is that the device is a nice size, but performance and screen display are not that great. This is without having loaded iScore on it at all yet .... just playing with it the way it is straight from the manufacturer. The screen has a very narrow viewing angle --- any other angle and the colors look real bad (reminiscent of old passive matrix laptop computers). The performance of very basic things like just rotating the device and "flicking" between home screens is not very responsive. Starting and exiting any decent sized application (like the Raging Thunder Lite game that comes with it) is very slow. The speakers seem nice, and the videos that come with it look nice, so maybe it is good as a video watching device if you can keep it at the right angle.

We will let you folks know more when we have had a chance to excercise it more with iScore, but so far, it seems underpowered even compared to Phones these days.
