@bassman - He doesn't know what he's talking about. I have an A81 and I have installed Android 2.1 on it.
At the moment Android 2.1 on A81 does not have Android Market. However, you can configure the Android 2.1 on A81 to run downloaded APKs (no custom patch or whatever - you simply check boxes that allows unsigned programs). There are two sites that you can download an APK from, the SlideMe and the AndroidFreeware org. You basically browse to these pages using the Android default browser then you DOWNLOAD it to your SD card (yes it allows you to do exactly that). After download you will be given an option to install the APK.
Simple as that. This is how I install apps on mine without the market. The only disadvantage is not all of the available apps on the Android Market are available on the sites that I mentioned (there are a lot more out there but the two ones are the more popular ones). By the way - most of the popular apps are available as APKs anyway... so no biggie.
If you need further help listen to someone who actually have an A81. Cheers.
