This is not about deleting Android, it's more about dual-booting Android together with another OS such as Angstrom, Ubuntu, Maemo, Qt or some other probably Linux based OSes. Check this thread: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=30158 it's about installing a Boot Menu so you can pick which OS to boot and there could be any number of OS. One alternative OS could be third party Android builds, such as some developers could make a root-capable Android build with latest Android 2.1 features, add Firefox or Chrome as the browser within Android and do any other number of tweaks. Thus Archos is making the industry's first Android Tablet that officially supports third party OS installs, thus is totally open. Hardware acceleration in alternative OSes is probably also going to be supported. Though is not supported yet. So there might be video decode/encode drivers to use on alternative OS installs. @Delphi, you can install the full Google Marketplace on the Archos Android OS.

So IMO good move seeing as gimped android sucks :) The archos sucked with the gimped app market having a real version of linus will actually make it a better tablet.
