    If you saw last week's video of CyanogenMod's Android port for the TouchPad, you probably noticed some lag, audio glitches, and choppy YouTube playback. Happily, those problems are all fixed and both Snapdragon cores now active, complete with hardware accelerated video. The result is visibly improved smoothness, HD video playback, and high-quality YouTube. As usual, the team won't be releasing anything until it's ready, but it's getting closer — check out the latest video after the break.
