JUST ran into that... been doing my homework like a good lil' boy, not liking what I immediately see.

Let's see what the community comes up with... and by community, I mean XDA.

Been scouring opensource.palm to see what all is there and isn't.

How about the other WebOS devices? My sister ditched her Pre for an iPhone 4.

This is particularly of interest, since apparently Doctor doesn't verify anything it flashes. Methinks we can simply replace the root filesystem with a deriviative of the MeeGo CE for N900 port.

You might be able to get away with it if the kernel is 2.6.35 or newer. You'll still hit the driver issue I mentioned before.

Like: galaxy S2 which has an unlocked boot loader.
Galaxy = 1.26GHz dual (overclockable to 1.6ghz dual) and 1GB ram.
Or if it ever gets unlocked, the motorola Droid2. Omap4 @1gb (512 ram) and hardware KB
The EPIC 4G is a better candidate.
1.5GHz (overclock + undervolt) topline Cortex A8 core
SGX540 (very very powerful gpu)
unlocked bootloader, root, busybox etc
hardware qwerty, led flash, microSD, etc etc
....cdma

I would definitely be interested in this too... I've got my order in with HP, no clue when it'll get here though (hope Irene doesn't get in the way).

BTW: Another android port has started over here, though I don't know how legitimate it is (they're already asking for donations).

1. Has there been any more thoughts on Meego for the touchpad?

2. I got bored with WebOS (only used it for browsing the web) so installed Android using the Cyanogenmod. Works very well but am struggling getting the Android market on there. Anyone else try this?

Someone has managed to get Nemo up and running on the Touchpad:

Obviously there's quite a way to go but I'm eagerly awaiting developments with both this and Arch on there.

You need to install gapps via CWM to get the market working.
