New Firmware Version for all G4 devices!

Only hours after releasing firmware 1.6.04 on the 604wifi, Archos released version 1.6.10. While 1.6.06 is still available for 604wifi owners, all the 404/504/604 users have to stick with 1.5.56 as a backup if the latest release won't work for them. Archos pulled 1.6.04 off their servers as a lot of users reported serious clitches. Surprising to see, that the firmware history now lists version 1.6.04 again which has been erased as well.... very strange things going on there...

Well, here's the list of version 1.6.10 improvements for the 404/504/604/604wifi:
