Damn HP dropped the TP to $99 dollars

Ya I imagine as much...I wish I had played w/ the demo model @ Bestbuy back when it was full price...I just more curious to see how it browses online more than anything else

Browsing is great imo I don't need to use my laptop except for more serious matters.

Anyone know why some apps are very small and don't fill up the screen?

The forums app doesn't even fill the screen its phone sized.

I'm thinking about copping one from amazon for ~$230. I have a feeling that the $99 price point won't be back any time soon.

Like my Grandma (RIP) use to say "Have patience!!!" :D

Just hold out till the next batch, and if you don't get one then, and YOU REALLY NEED A TABLET PC, get one of the other ones on the market. Asus, Xoom, Galaxy...there is a lot to choose from.

As I have stated, I only want one at this price point. I just need it as a eBook reader, and to surf while on the couch. iPhone screen is not cutting it, and I cannot haul my laptop with me to the couch all the time.

Yeah...I really don't NEED a tablet. But that $99 price point got the taste for a tablet in my mouth, now I feel like I missed out. Knowing my cheap ass though, I'll say that I'll buy one on Amazon, but it ain't gonna happen. I'll wait for the $99. Like I said, I really don't need a tablet anyway.
 
mines just got here. wife is playing with it right now.

might get another one if i can find where its being sold for $99 still.
 
Have you tried dling files on the Touchpad...mp3 cbr/cbz epub files etc?

I downloaded Thor mkv file (using my phones 3g as a wifi network) at work...it plays fine. Downloaded a few comics and they work fine. I tried to grab an mp3 last week but instead of saving it played it directly.....I know there is a way to save it, have to try it again. I havent't tried it since I installed the Advanced Browser. The Thor mkv saved on the tablet and I transferred it to my MacBook then to my external Hard drive perfectly.

Someone posted some story saying HP is gonna manufacture more touchpads.
 
only cons so far is having to add the epub one by one to preader.
otherwise the streaming is cool. web browsing is cool. reading comics is cool.

If you have a Touchpad, make sure you sign up for Box.net 50G of free online storage. (Don't use a gmail, or yahoo account) They sent me an email from Box to add "co-workers" to the 50G free accounts list. I've got 500G of free online storage :yes: Plus hooked up a few other people with free accounts.

If you download and install cracked games or apps, do not update them or you will get errors.
 
Quickoffice is preinstalled, but it needs to be updated to the latest version to allow you the ability to create and edit word/excel documents.

Once you install Preware, open it and on the pull down menu (upper left corner) click manage feeds and turn them all on. Add these 2:

Name: webos-testing-all
URL: https// ipkg.prewar.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/all

Name: webos-testing-armv7
URL: https// ipkg.prewar.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/armv7

There is a fix for HULU that you can get thru the feeds.

There is a fix in works for adding books with the correct ASIN name to work with Kindle
