Getting Started with Archos 101 IT

After fully charging my device, the first thing I wanted to do was install all the apps I usually put on my android devices.   Unfortunately, the Archos tablet doesn't come with the google android market by default.  (Also unfortunate is that you can't use the microUSB port to charge the tablet while transferring files and thus need a separate cable that has the appropriate polarized tip.)

To do this just download arctools (can be found in appslib if you allowed that to be installed during your initial set-up) and install the latest version of market.

Alternatively, I initially found gApps4Archos to work fine in place of arctools, but arctools gives you more control.
