Do you plan on (or already have) dual booting your TouchPad with Android & webOS??

Smartfah · 10/13/2011, 04:12 PM

At first I didn't care about any Android ports to the TouchPad, but once I saw the video today of the Alpha release I became very interested in getting the dual boot on my TouchPad. Even though many people are saying the Alpha version is pretty solid, I will wait until it hits either Beta or a final build (I'd rather not deal with many bugs, or unexpected craziness).

At the very least, I say it's worth it just for the Netflix app. Seeing how well they progressed with Gingerbread, I'd say once Ice Cream Sandwich is released, things will be even better. I can't wait to try it out.

I'm running it already, my ultimate goal is single boot ICS.

I'm running the alpha already. I'll replace Gingerbread with ICS when the build is ready.

WebOS will always have a place on my Touchpad though. It's too pretty to wipe it away, even if it could still use some work.

When the beta or final build is ready I'll throw Gingerbread on it. Since Ice Cream Sandwich is made for phones & tablets, I'm definitely looking forward to that port more than Gingerbread. In any case, I'm always going to go for the dual-boot option. I like webOS too much to replace it with Android on the TP. A dual-boot is like a 2 in one tablet. To me, that's definitely a win.
