1) The lack of a customer status bar. AppsLib.com states quite clearly there are buttons in it, the deivce shown hasn't got buttons in the status bar.
2) Styling. Every Archos device I've seen has their name stamped on the front (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archos for examples), this doesn't.
3) Naming. The device is called the "ARCHOS 5 Internet Tablet" according to appslib.com, it'd be bizzarre to give the same name as an existing product to something that totally changes the styling and OS.
I don't know what it is, but I very much doubt its' the Archos device.
16 years ago @ AndroidGuys - Donut != Android 2.0 · 7 replies · +1 points
Googling "Android donut 2.0" brings a host of articles going back a few months which call donut Android 2.0 and haven't been "corrected" and Andy Rubin (Romains boss, or bosses boss, or something higher) has been reported as calling donut the next release in a number of places.
So it seems to me that Google management/PR are putting out the impression that Donut is Android 2.0, and engineers are saying no, so I think there needs to be a meeting where Google get their message straight before trying to get others to follow it.
But to be on the safe side I've removed the 2.0 tags from my SDK build pages which are linked to in the article.
