Team TouchDroid, one of the groups working on getting Android running on the HP TouchPad, has disbanded after being caught taking credit for work CyanogenMod developers.
CyanogenMod is a community ROM which runs on a wide variety of Android devices. CyanogenMod developers have made significant progress toward getting Android up and running on the TouchPad, which includes writing touchscreen drivers.
Those drivers were used to enable multitouch on the HP tablet in the video we reported on earlier this week.
fnj00 of Team TouchDroid apologized for the incident on their website, writing:

I am the site host and was the guy you saw in all the videos under the account fnj001. I would first like to say to the community and team CM I am sorry for all the drama that has unfolded over the past few days/weeks and would like to clear it all up with the community and CM. I am doing this fully on my own will without any backing from whats left of team-touchdroid.

He went on to say, "As the drama unfolded the team began to break up and its trusted members are no longer actively working on a port for the HP touchpad under this team."
Meanwhile, work continues on CyanogenMod for the TouchPad, as a recently released video shows.
