How to install Android Market on your CM7 Alpha 3 TP

Step 1: Install CM7 as instructed, be sure to include the moboot zip and the ClockworkMod zip;

Step 2: Boot into Android and connect the TouchPad via USB as an External Storage device;

Step 3: Download the Google Apps zip for CyanogenMod 7 from here, copy the zipped file to
             TouchPad;

Step 4: Reboot the TouchPad & use moboot to choose "ClockworkMod";
    This is the step I was initially confused about. What the heck is " moboot "? It is nothing but    
    Mobile Open Bootloader for the HP Touchpad.
    How to enter moboot?
    a. Reboot your Android (hold power button for a while and choose "Reboot"
    b. Select reboot option " Recory" then ok to reboot, then you will see options like this:
         CWM-based Recovery V5.0.2.6
         -reboot system now
         -apply update from sdcard
         -wipe data/factory reset
         -install zip from sdcard
         -backup and restore
         -mounts and storage
         -advanced
         -power off
         -+++++Go Back+++++
        
         Use the volume up and down button to highlight the options and choose the option by press the center
         button (the one close to the microusb port) on your TP.
Step 5:  choose "install zip from sdcard", then choose "choose zip from sdcard";

Step 6:  find and select the "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" file you placed on the Touchpad;

Step 7:  Google Market & apps will install;

Step 8:  Reboot into CM7 and find the " Market" to find lots of free apps you might be
               interested!
