The Alpha build 2 is not available to install on the HP Touchpad. The good folks at CyanogenMod7 have made this available. I was going to wait for at least the Beta, but I just could not resist taking the plunge, and guess what? The water is fine... I was shocked how easy the install was. Just be sure to read the instructions and follow them. After your finished you will have a duel boot Touchpad so you can go back to the WebOS anytime you wish. Very nice!
Right out of the gate, I connected to the Android market and downloaded some games to give it a workout. Everything I tried worked well, except for the camera which I'm sure will be fixed soon. I was new to the Android OS so I had to poke around to find the things I was looking for at first. I really enjoyed it.
If you are lucky enough to have one of these fire sale HP Touchpads give it a try.
This set of instructions are pretty easy to follow:
