HP Touchpad sees update to CyanogenMod 7 Alpha 2

CM7 first boot on HP Touchpad YouTube

Good news for all of you TouchPad owners out there rocking CyanogenMod 7. The CM team announced Alpha 2 of the immensely popular AOSP build for the TouchPad, bringing a huge list of fixes and improvements along with it. Don’t assume that means you won’t still run into bugs and glitches along the way, there’s a reason it’s still sporting that Alpha tag.
