HP’s discontinued TouchPad running on Android OS
We’ve just seen an Youtube video of a HP’s recently abandoned TouchPad tablet with what looks like an successful installation of Android Froyo 2.2. TouchPad like other mobile devices by HP originally runs on WebOS. We are not sure what is the background story on this but it seems plausible as TouchPad’s hardware is compatible with Google mobile OS, and technically speaking it can be done, the same way WEB OS can be installed on your iPad, but who would want to do that and for what reason? Anyway, nobody is sure if this is some kind of testing device or something else. Apparently the tablet has been sold with Froyo already installed. Was it some kind of mistake? We can only guess on this.

After Apple stores, now Jobs biography gets faked!
Recently we have mentioned an invasion of fake Apple Stores appearing in China and other countries. Now we have something even more hilarious: a fake biography of Steve Jobs! It seems that many people have been inspired by Steve Jobs and his wonder company, although some people obviously tend to go to far with this inspiration. This fake biography is written under a real name or pseudonym “John Cage”. By the way, authors name also sounds pretty fake! The books name can be translated from Chinese roughly as “Jobs eleven advises for every teenager”. Books are available in official Taiwanese bookstores and already more than four thousand books are sold to people interested in Steve Jobs advices! This could be a great pointer to authors searchingfor a market. Perhaps we will soon see mass influx on fake Apple related books!.

Seven year old boy Connor Zamar has released an iPhone app named ToasterPop which is made for preschool kids just like Connor.
