So why can we run android then??

lol, yeah.. last i heard, the screen has been working fairly well. its not the screen, its the everything else actually. speaker doesn't work, mic doesn't, phone radio (cdma, gsm works), among other things. its not the screen, its just that the drivers don't exist yet. once htc releases an android phone built on something that uses similar parts to the touch pro, and with some luck of backward compatibility, we should see some noticable improvements in the progress. the way it looks now though, we're looking at at least a few months for the gsm version to be ready to actually be a phone, and at least 6 months for cdma, if not longer. and i don't know about the rest of you, but i'll be rocking a touch pro 2 by then, but i would really like to see webos hit a real phone with a real keyboard, hopefully by the time i get a tp2.

Thank God WinMo doesn't know how to Hotsync, b/c knowing my luck, it would be stuck in that Hotsync loop constantly. lol.

Btw, would it be possible to use the StyleTap application and install tealOS if you really wanted something like webOS?
