As you know, all Archos Android devices support the full Google Marketplace without any problems. All you have to do is find the appropriate application .apk on http://forum.archosfans.com usually called "market4archos.apk" and transfer it to the device using USB and then simply click on it from the file browser and it asks you for your Google username and password to install the full Google Marketplace. It is as easy as installing Adobe Flash/PDF .exe file on a Windows PC. Do you say a Windows PC does not support PDF/Flash if that doesn't come pre-installed for some licencing reason with Adobe?
The Google Marketplace is none other than a simple .apk Android application and Android is built in a way that it is not possible to block the installation of any .apk Android app. So there is no way for Google to prevent Archos Android tablet users from figuring out the way to install the full Google Marketplace on their devices.
