Read the roozwiki website carefully, generally the Android port may not work fully in 1st version. They will keep on adding new features one by one. For example in 1st version speaker/sound driver may not be ready so u cant play songs at all! But if u are satisfied with WebOS itself, which will have almost all feates, then dont attempt Android at all!

I guess there will be apps for most of the essential functions. For a normal user, thats more than enuf!

True..I'm happy with WebOS for now. But still will keep an eye on Android development for touchpad

Wow Nice thread Vithagar ! Me too got couple of them 1 from HP and another one from Staples sunday morning , Yet to open them.. However I did checkout my friend's touch pad which he brought for full price when it was launched. These are my observations. (*Disclaimer alert , I AM A BIG APPLE HATER, Pro open course full meals)

1) HP Got All wrong when it came to hardware architecture, simply one of common not so great ARMs in the market. With the kind of money they had invested in the divison, I was expecting more.
2) Brillant piece was the WebOS , which was one of the First and best mobile platform , very stable remember Palm were the pioneers in touchscreen interfaces..etc etc. Idiots sorry geniuses in HP
did not jusify this OS by releasing a mobile version on a tablet.
3) Multitasking is tricky not all user firendly..
4) Best rumor about touchpad last week was not "Bryna's tweets" lol .. It seems HP is deciding on their 1.3 billion dollar investment WebOS future they are planning to make it open course meal. If this is true this is one of the best things happened since slice bread
This would the closest competitor to Apple interms of Stable Operating system. It will be interesting to see.

Now coming to the main piece of advice "DO NOT PORT THIS TO ANDORID" reason, Rate at which Google is canceling its licensing contracts with manufacturers , days are not far that Open Source version(s) of andorid will have far less capablities than the "Google offical Versions" We have already seen this happening for Ginger bread , Honey comb and the update windows are only getting longer Ginger close to 6-8 months avg. With Google entering in to mobile manufacturing with motorola's acquisition, I am pretty sure we will be seeing this kind of hard handed control from google even more now.

Also one of the manufacturers , whom google refused to work with Might be building the first quad core for apple Ipad 3 later in 2012.. who thought apple would move from samsung who provided them with some amazing piece of hardware over the years.. "Hail A6"

Venki, keep an eye on Bestbuy, there are some touchpad stocks expected. If you are willing to spend $20 extra, ebay has some, with Android preloaded

Dilbert, don't worry about Android port, once open source is released its not easy and possible to stop porting it to devices already sold. I mean the hardware is sold and nobody cares a foot about hacking the device with any aftermarket firmware, be it Android(released versions) or some other mobile OS.

Regarding features too, once the base OS is set, there is nothing stopping to add extra features and only limit is hardware

As for patents, the main culprit is Apple & Msft. Anyways that will affect only devices releasing with Android and doesn't cover unofficial ports like Touchpad. Even there, Google has wise lists of selected patents portfolio form IBM and Motorola. Wait for fun in coming days
