I forget, didn't people demo Android running much quicker on touchpad hardware? If so, it's the decision to depend too much on the JavaScript stack and not the hardware that's the ultimate problem.

Android really doesn't run quicker than WebOS yet. There isn't any 2D hardware acceleration (last I knew, a few days ago). This means that sometimes Android is really fluid, but then it starts studdering and kind of ruins the experience.

I also had a ton of Force-Close's on the browser. I'm back to WebOS until the Android CM7 builds get past Alpha. It looks like it'll be usable, but not really yet.

You are correct, Android does run fast on the Touchpad.
