Update

So I've been busy over the last couple of days that's why I haven't got any posts out. I am still working on compiling a list of good webOS apps, which will come eventually. I wanted to post today to tell you that, and also to tell you, in case you hadn't heard yet, that the Cyanogenmod team have apparently been working very hard on getting android over to the HP touchpad. They announced yesterday that they have developed an alpha Android rom for it. This rom IS NOT released but they have announced that they will be releasing the Beta once completed. The only other information given was a video showing the touchpad running this OS and some information which hinted that the device would be able to multi-boot e.g run webOS and Android.

The Rom allows them to boot into Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread but many of the components are barely functional at this point. The touchscreen isn't supported yet, the graphics are a bit dodgy because graphics acceleration is not yet supported, and also the general layout of android is optimized for mobile phone rather than a tablet which would normally run 3.x.x Honeycomb Android.

This is great and exciting news that we've all been waiting for and I can't wait to get an easy to follow tutorial out for all of you to be able to enjoy what is bound to be a great $98 experience. Lets all show our support by donating over at the dev sites like Rootzwiki and Cyanogenmod
