Add Android OS to HP TouchPad Android Hack

HP TouchPad Android Hack! A race to change the HP TouchPad to the Android Operating System
As many of you know, HP has recently slashed the price of their HP TouchPad. You can now purchase the HP TouchPad 16GB for $99 (Originally $400), and the 32GB Model(Originally $500) for $150. These products have been getting sold out everywhere. Because this product is being discontinued, support for the product will be vanishing as well. Due to the short lifespan of this product before being discontinued (only a few months), the Apps available has been small and now how much longer HP will continue to support and update the device is up in the air.
Geeks all around are looking to get their hands on this nice tablet so that they can put the Android Operating System on it. And why not? The Android OS is already so robust. This operating system change alone could fix several of the woes that plagued the TouchPad during its initial release.
However it is important to note that hacking the TouchPad to use the Android OS is not be an easy task. As we have seen, most mobile device OS ports have been sub-par, or consist of running an OS on top of another one. With such a sudden influx in sales and support ending for this discontinued device, could we see a solid Andorid Operating System port for the HP TouchPad? Only time will tell.
Stay tuned for updates.
*Update 8/22 @ 12PM*
It appears that people are now offering rewards for a HP TouchPad Android Hack! For a basic TouchPad Android Port HackNMod will pay $450. Additional features and hacks will be sponsored as well.
Looking to overclock your HP TouchPad and speed it up? Check out here for details.

With this huge influx in purchases, next to go will be the accessories (which I am sure are going to be halted.) Grab what accessories you can now before they run out.

Android 2.1 Download Leaked – Dell Streak
Last Updated on Saturday, 14 August 2010 06:41 Written by DarkKnightH20 Saturday, 14 August 2010 06:15
Android version 2.1 has been leaked on the internet for the Dell Streak tablet. It is available for download in many places throughout the web. 
I’m sure many are taking advantage of this leak, and putting this premature version on their tablet. Updates WILL be available. This version is for the O2 locked Dell Streak, which is a pretty nice phone / tablet.
You can download the Android 2.1 update for this phone from several mirrors.
MediaFire (MF)
MegaUpload (MU)
So What’s New In Android Update 2.1?
Most notably, they improved the keyboard (great for those who text a lot on this phone), added live wallpapers (makes the phone look even more pretty), and a 720p camcorder (makes the phone even more powerful!).
How to Install?
Download the update from one of the given mirrors above (it is a PKG file). Drag the PKG file to your Streak’s SD card and then rename it to “Update.pkg”. Afterward, reboot the Streak into recovery mode by holding down both volume keys and powering it on. This procedure is VERY simple as you can see.
BE SURE TO BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE UPDATING. YOUR TABLET WILL BE WIPED CLEAN. BE CAREFUL WHEN INSTALLING ANY UPDATES TO YOUR PHONE AND RESEARCH THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES.
Also, for those who download from mirrors like the above often, check out this awesome, free Firefox addon — Megaupload MU, Megashares MS, Rapidshare RS, Mediafire MF, DepositFiles DF, Auto CAPTCHA + Auto Download.
Operating System Android 2.2 Update – Froyo (Frozen Yogurt)
Last Updated on Monday, 24 May 2010 03:52 Written by DarkKnightH20 Monday, 24 May 2010 03:52
The following phones will likely receive this upgrade — Motorola Droid, Google ‘s Nexus One, the Droid Incredible, and some others. However, the Nexus One and Motorola Droid will receive it in June for sure. This is suppose to make the operating system up to 5 times faster when compared to the 2.1 version because of the new Dalvik JIT compiler. Exchange capabilities are also being implemented for enterprise uses (i.e. calendar syncing) and many APIs were added. Version 2.2 is also suppose to offer the fastest internet browsing experience available. This should be a really cool update that many will look forward to I’m sure!

Smartphone Operating System Marketshare
Last Updated on Monday, 10 May 2010 08:59 Written by DarkKnightH20 Tuesday, 11 May 2010 10:00
A lot of people assume that either the iPhone OS or Google Android OS are the #1 smartphone operating systems used. Actually, they’re not! The number one spot belongs to….RIM! With their BlackBerry operating system. Android takes second place, which use to belong to Apple, who now takes third place instead. Here’s a chart to put things in a more visual perspective–
Obviously Android will stay on the rise and, in my opinion, overtake the number 1 spot easily. This is because Android is an operating system that isn’t specific to a certain brand of phone, unlike Apple, and therefore can expand easily.

Dual Boot HTC Hero Android Operating Systems
Last Updated on Sunday, 9 May 2010 06:37 Written by DarkKnightH20 Sunday, 9 May 2010 06:37
I just updated the article Review / Comparison: HTC Touch Pro 2, HTC Hero, or Samsung Moment? to add information about dual booting the HTC Hero’s Android OS. This means having both Android operating systems version 1.5 and 2.1 on the phone. Nobody thinks to dual boot phones, that’s usually for PC’s only. Times are changing, however, and I’m sure dual booting smartphones will be a common thing soon enough.

T-Shirt That Tells You When You Have New E-Mail
Last Updated on Wednesday, 31 March 2010 10:38 Written by DarkKnightH20 Wednesday, 31 March 2010 10:38
Though it isn’t the coolest looking thing in the world, but a shirt was created that tells you how much new E-Mail you have. It works via a Bluetooth dongle, a microcontroller, LEDs, conductive thread, and a phone using Android OS. It is very easy to make and I’m sure it can be styled to look cool…though in the end you’re still wearing a shirt that tells you how much email you have
