    Best way to transfer data + settings when Google/Android backup and restore isn't an option?

    Thanks! It looks like that might do the trick for some app data, which is half the battle. And, I know a lot of stuff just syncs to Google. Do you have any pointers for the remaining stuff - I'm thinking wallpapers, settings, etc.

    Android phone as mini-tablet?

    Hello, I kinda have to use a BlackBerry as my primary phone for work. However, every time I've played with an Android phone I've walked away impressed and I really do want in on that OS's action. I'd actually prefer a tablet (along the lines of the Archos 101), but it looks like Android...

    Legacy Archos products and Android

    Hello, I was an idiot and paid $500 for this Archos tablet last summer. I guess right after I bought it, Archos started shipping their devices with Android, not the proprietary OS. Do you guys know, is there any way I can install Android on this product? Thanks in advance!
