Installing Android On an HP TouchPad 96
Barence writes "PC Pro has published a comprehensive guide to installing Android on a HP TouchPad using CyanogenMod's alpha Android release. The mod, which is based on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) instead of 3.0 (Honeycomb, the source code of which is yet to be released) 'performs similarly to the Tegra 2-based tablets we've seen from the likes of Asus and Samsung,' according to PC Pro. 'The only real problem we hit was some apps refusing to install from the Android Market because they didn't recognise the hardware,' although there are ways around it."

So you get the great multi-tasking of WebOS, but with the great app selection (and browser options...) of Android.
Netflix, minecraft, Firefox.... I certainly don't consider it a downgrade.
