Any HP Touchpad users try out the Cyanogenmod alpha?

Post by indecks »

It was released today and I've got it running on my 32gb Touchpad. I don't have a lot of experience with Android but so far I'm liking it a lot more than webOS.

I plan to dual boot, but not until it reaches beta probably. I've actually really come to like webOS, so I'll still primarily use that, but more apps are nice.

I don't mind webOS, it works pretty well, and I will say that the webOS email app is about 658.4 times better (at least) than the default Android email app. Christ, I mean you are the maker of Android and GMail - why does it not work/look like GMail? lol But so far I do like Android better. It's more familiar to me since it's sorta like iOS.

As far as I know it will only be a dual boot system, so I plan to do the same. Considering that this is an Alpha, it actually works pretty damn well. I haven't had any lockups or crashes - yet. But a buddy of mine did have to hard reboot his Touchpad sometime earlier, apparently. It just locked on him when it was idle.

I got a Touchpad for my Mom during the big fire sale. She doesn't know that much about technology, so I doubt she would understand the benefit of installing Android on it. Oh, well. WebOS works just fine for what she uses it for.
