I have flashed my WPDN so many times now, I've gone through so many modded firmwares, and here are my top 2.
1. CyanogenMod Beta - CyanogenMod 6.x SlateDroid All around fastest version so far, runs froyo 2.2 and runs it good.
This is an Android 2.2 port with working Google applications and many much needed tweaks to transform the WPDN into a fully functional Android tablet.
2. Stock 1/14 OP - This version was released by Pandigital (SH20_20110114_K_PD_INX7E_ENG_6410POP.zip) No video stutter, runs smooth. The new January firmwares create 2 partitions on internal SD, one you can see on windows and one only the device reads.
Both of these releases can run market, but I suggest CyanogenMod. It makes the White PDN run like a real tablet. Try and see.
If you would like any help with installing either of these I am willing to help.

1. CyanogenMod Beta - CyanogenMod 6.x SlateDroid All around fastest version so far, runs froyo 2.2 and runs it good.

Things known to work:
* Audio
* WIFI - (signal strength, password retention all work)
* SD card mounting/unmounting - Only the external SD card is mounted.
* Sleep works (uses the same hack that I used for the Froyo ROM to prevent hangs). Expect
to see a huge battery drain.
* Display brightness controls.
* Soft buttons.
* The ROM is rooted so apps requiring root should just work.
* HW acceleration for video playback. Except for m.youtube.com, videos that I have tried use hardware decoding.
KNOWN ISSUES:
1) Graphics is quirky as it is with the other FROYO ROM and portrait mode may be slow.
2) Install to SD card does not work due to kernel limitation.
WORKAROUNDS:
1) Youtube works when using m.youtube.com, but turn off HQ mode.
2) If an app cannot be installed, you can try using adb to install it. For AngryBirds, I used adb install -f AngryBirds.apk . This forces the install on to the internal memory instead of SD card. Android might decide where to put the app and I think for small apps, it defaults to internal memory and for large apps, it ends up defaulting to sdcard.
If you do not like the default keyboard, you can change it from Settings->Language and Keyboard or by long pressing selecting a text input box and doing a long press (hold for a long time) until a dialog box which says Input shows up and from there choose Android keyboard.
