Apparently HP execs weren’t done with they chaos they started a couple weeks back. Under the latest roadmap, HP will keep webOS software (the only thing that matters) in the Office of Strategy and Technology while hardware (everything that’s been discontinued) will get shuffled over to HP’s Personal Systems Group (PSG).

That dual booting TouchPad love story we mentioned a few days back is already here. Like before, RootzWiki (home of the TouchDroid project) has all the details. But don’t go preparing your TouchPad for brain surgery just yet. While Both Android and webOS now play in harmony, the Android side of things is more for proof of concept.
