HP Touchpad Android port not off to a good start

I'm actually not caring much about an Android port at this point as WebOS is surprisingly good. As long as I keep my app cards sane it performs pretty well (I did run the performance tweaks to turn off debugging).

I'll inject about $20 into the app ecosystem as some of the apps look decent. I despise flash, but it really saves this device. Despite some button lag, Flash performs surprisingly well.

Note to devs, create a decent Spades/Bridge game so I can get my dad off my back.

meet my mom, she wants a decent solitaire game.

Seems the guy stole all their donations but yeah, still very unclear as to what has happened. I have lost faith in this team - lots of teen drama it seems...

On twitter rhcp011235 stated:

> All. The touchdroid project is not dead. We just had some internal changes. we removed members. we have devs in place. don't worry.

So it seems unclear what is going on here.

I have a feeling the word "dev" is being used loosely here.

Seems their website just went down. Here is the pastebin they posted: http://pastebin.com/7GWTjqLE

I, however, have no idea what all this is about...

Can't the CyanogenMod team work on this?

I'm getting a 404. Anyone have a copy of the article?

  A member of our team (RHCP) has gone totally apeshit.  He wasn’t getting the
  publicity he wanted and cried about it.  He finally took it a step further 
  because he STILL wasn’t getting the attention he wanted.  He took it upon 
  himself to make us look like a joke.  He deleted our Twitter account, he 
  destroyed our GitHub Repo, he has threatened ALL of us physically, he has 
  promised to dox us, he has been STEALING code and taking credit.  Help us 
  take this rat bastard down.  If you have any info on him please come forward!
  We are no longer working with him but he is a serious threat to us all.

  Here’s more goodies people!  We’re not lying to you but he sure as hell is!
