The race to get Android working on the now budget-friendly (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/19/let-the-liquidation-begin-hps-16gb-touchpad-on-sale-for-99/) HP TouchPad is on. We've already heard rumors of the little green robot coming pre-installed (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/25/alleged-hp-touchpad-running-android-appears-can-be-yours-on-eba/) on the ill-fated slate and we've seen the first CM7 boot (http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/29/touchpad-port-of-cm7-in-the-works-can-barely-be-called-an-alpha/), but no one's gone all the way quite yet. While progress is slow, a team of dedicated TouchPad hackers, calling itself Team-Touchdroid, is now showing off a dual-boot configuration with Android 2.3.5. As with CM7, the touchscreen still doesn't work, but the demo video is quite dramatic -- that is until the credits stop rolling. If early-stage flip-flopping OSs are your thing, hop on past the break, but don't say we didn't warn you: it's going to get weird.http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/03/team-touchdroid-dual-boots-android-on-touchpad-touchscreen-no/
