Ken,

IIRC to dual boot you need to doctor your touchpad, this means reflashing
it. You need to use metadoctor which is a homebrew app to create a
partition in the image file and send it to the touchpad again. It is not
hard, actually is pretty easy but I don't feel like reflashing. I have an
ASUS Android tablet as well. So it is the best of both worlds. The Android
and iOS machines here are just for development. My personal machines are
all webOS.

The opening up of webOS to open source licenses is a very good thing. For
example it gave us a really nice HTML toolkit to use in our sites. Checkout
