CyanogenMod Ports Android To HP TouchPad

yesakmac joins the teeming hordes of successful Slashdot submitters, with this excerpt from PC World that says the frenzied effort to port Android to HP's discontinued TouchPad has actually succeeded: "CyanogenMod also released a 'lower your expectations edition' release guide to let you know exactly what is working (or not) under the hood. Modders will be happy to know that basically all the TouchPad's guts are recognized. It supports dual-booting and fake SD cards in case you need to restore the TouchPad. What does not work, though, is the camera, which can only be used for video chat. Power efficiency is still an issue, too. As for the final build, CyanogenMod says they won't be giving a hard date, and that it will be ready when it is ready."

So wanting to be paid for work isn't "classy"? by Anonymous Coward · 2011-10-13 09:51 · Score: 0, Troll

I just don't get this socialist "business" model of not being paid for one's work.

I think I'd rather code for Apple and be paid for my work.

Now go ahead and mod me down "-1, I disagree with you, and you are therefore not classy."
