Let's wait a bit, there might have been some kind of bug, or perhaps Google phoned them and told them they could include the Marketplace now officially.

I received the Archos Donut update last night. It took a while for me to reconnect to my internet settings, but other than that, everything seems to work fine. My biggest complaint: losing all the previously downloaded apps and ebooks I had.
