Well, I can tell u it uses uboot, I'll let u know more when I get mine

How sure are you? From everything I have seen, the bootloader is called 'bootie' which looks like U-Boot. Now maybe it is a derivative, in which case we can ask HP for the source (U-Boot is GPL)

Can anyone confirm that the bootloader is indeed U-Boot? If it is, I'll be putting in a request to HP for the source code

I have a TouchPad but I'm not allowed to unbox it until Sunday

The U-Boot patches on the Palm open source site are rubbish (a trivial patch to a makefile) - I have put in a request to HP asking if the boot loader is a U-Boot (or is any other GPL code) derivative and if so, to provide the source code

I'll let you know what I get back

Reply from HP/Palm:

Thank you for your interest in the Touchpad. The bootloader in webOS is proprietary, and as such is not released as source.

Palm Open Source Team.

So it does not run U-Boot.
