Any ETA on getting Android on it?

I wont put Android on it, if Synology make a WebOS app.
It'd be perfect for me at home with my Diskstation!

Not yet but keep an eye on here:

is there a way to have tabs as opposed to stacks on the web browser?

advanced broswer in the catalog has this feature, plus many more.

 

[rG-tom]

Anyone got an RDP app for this?

Cheers

Tom.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

I just turn on my device and fail at the first hurdle... My network is a uni network and requires signing in via webpage after connection... Apparently the touchpad doesn't support this at the configuration phase...

So any way round this other than wondering round and seeing if I can find some unsecured wireless...?

Possible to tether from your phone?

How is everyone charging their tablets?

it wont charge over usb connected to my pc and the plug that came with it is a european one which has no way to plug the usb cable into that I can work out?

 

[Amp34]

Nope I don't think so but I'll have a look into it...

try looking in the little box on the left of the box a bit harder

Think I may have to see if my T-Mobile Sim works in my old WM phone...

Damn you WP7, why do you have to be so backwards in certain ways!

+1 made the it a lot faster!

Can anyone recommend me the best sub £10 case?

Edit: this one has tempted me already: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HP-TOUCH-...Audio_MP3PlayerCasesSkins&hash=item45fc7b1f8d

Or this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXECUTIVE..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item27bd4db124

Would really like to order something before i drop it & getting really annoyed with the finger prints at the back.

The problem is most unofficial cases cover up the bezel which makes a lot of the gestures a bit awkward/not work at all.

what sort of gestures are there?

Is the official case fine for this?

Just going through the 12 Preware Patches.

1.Advanced Reset Options: Adds advanced functionality and options when the power button is held down.
2.Autostart Exhibition: Allows Exhibition to start from the application itself.
3.Faster Card Animatons HYPER Version: Increases the speed of card animations (visual effect only, does not improve system performance.)
4.Hide VoiceMail Button: Hides the Voicemail button in the phone application.
5.Increase Touch Sensitivity And Smoothness 10: Decreases some of the jitteriness when scrolling and loading providing a more precise and smoother visual experience.
6.Just Charge Button Label: Changes the “Cancel” button to the more descriptive and aptly titled “Just Charge” when the device is connected to your computer via USB.
7.Just Charge by Default: Will send the TouchPad directly into “Just Charge” mode when attached to your computer via USB. You can then toggle this setting via the notification dashboard if you want to enter USB mode.
8.Launch with Folder View Minimized: Forces the email application to launch with folder view minimized.
9.Muffle System Logging: By default WebOS logs nearly every action you take. This patch changes that behavior so that it will only log errors.
10.No Video Pause on Minimize: Allows video to continue playing even when the screen is minimized, dimmed, or off.
11.Remove Dropped Packet Logging: Stops WebOS from needlessly logging dropped packets.
12.Remove Tap Ripple: Shuts off the annoying ripple effect that appears each time you tap on the screen which in turn minimizes the lag associated with displaying the effect each time.

This is tedious.

Be honest... you are loving the tweaking.

 

[Amp34]

Gah!!

Seems it can't find the tethered connection... Yet it works because my laptop can.

So it seems I'm going to have to have a wonder round... How long does the initial setup actually take?
