That just seems too bizarre to be true.
HP was initially developing this tablet under Android, when they bought WebOS. They stopped development and shifted to porting WebOS. It is why it took them so long to get a tablet out.

Here is their press quote. Note they don't deny wring Android on the device rather they state that never intended to ship with it.

Quote:
“Regarding your specific request for source code below, I must decline at the present time. HP has never authorized the distribution of any binaries for Android in association with the HP Touchpad. Therefore, HP is not under any license obligation to provide any corresponding Android source code to you.”

“We presently believe that some person or persons unknown may have facilitated the delivery of these Android-based units strictly against the policy and authorization of HP.”
