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.

    Team CyanogenMod has made some progress porting Android to the Touchpad, with Wi-Fi now working, bringing Market access with it. The team says there are still some limitations, and there is some visible lag, but that could be because the software currently only uses one core.

Head past the break for a video of the progress and hit up the source link for the finer details.
