touchpad running android 2.2.1

I bought this touchpad (16gb) at best buy. The touchpad is running android 2.2.1 out of the box. The product seems to be a test version from the qualcomm innovation center, since the center logo is shown when you turn the touchpad on. The video shows me walking through the developer tools and the web browser. I cannot find a way to get the android market, or download any android applications onto the device.

stop being selfish, and give it to a developer so we all can get android on our touchpads....j/k.....not really....fuk i want android on my tp

[MrJoshd616]

dont know if ya figured it out, but you have to download the market app from google also i was reading some comments and if you dont know how it works then dont do it. like how do you get lockscreen or how do you get android. im running android on touchpad i have the market app and running the machine with no problem. going to put ics when a stable version comes out. if you dont know what your doing you have a chance of turning the touchpad into a paper weight.

@Music4PeaceToday It was. There were several TouchPads that were sold running Android out of the box, which obviously isn't supposed to be what the TouchPad runs. There's a big deal being made by Xda-Developers about how this violates GPL. If you're more interested, try a quick google search for TouchPad GPL, or head over to xda-developers(dot)com and read what they're saying about it. It's pretty interesting.

To be honest I thought the HP touchpad was only equiped with webOS. May I ask if this was the same $99 version sold everywhere?

HP needs to release the Source Code to this under the GPL!

@supercooled much worse

@GTPTaylor nobody would pay thousands for this. I am on all the mobile forums and they'll pay him retail plus maybe a hundred......the tablet is essentially useless to real world devs right now because you can't access the Linux kernel which is the major issue.
