Archos 5 Internet Tablet gets game-changing OpenGL support in 2.0.15 update (video)

Speedy browser aside, the Archos 5 Internet Tablet started as the runt of the Android litter, but the ugly duckling is headed towards swanhood — while officially, it’s still stuck with Android 1.6, the tablet’s French manufacturer has just transformed the media machine into what looks like a stellar Android game system as well. Archos’ 2.0.15 update gives the Archos 5 support for OpenGL, letting it run games like Speed Forge 3D and Racing Thunder II at a fantastic clip. Best of all, you won’t have to wait two shakes to test it out for yourself; there’s a 89MB download with your name on it at our source link. Video after the break.

[Thanks, Tom]
