What codecs and containers does this support?

Quite poor , its taking ages to convert these files

MPEG-4
H.263
H.264

As nice as WebOS looks i still find it hollow , would prefer android

Is anybody having problems getting their touchpad to recognise it's been unmounted from their desktop? I unmount it but it still displays as if it's still connected :/

Since i have one from both Comet and Argos, which is the best place to buy protection from?

 

[Robbo]

There are some great apps for this (the Facebook and the Accuweather ones also have Exhibition modes, they look superb)!

If you want to sync your tablet to a music library (such as iTunes), try this -

I am after a player that will stream from my NAS rather than having to import and duplicate my music. Anyone know if there is one out there?

yeah, I know about that but would prefer to be able to use dropbox which I already have installed on my desktop,netbook, mobile etc

What's exhibition mode?

Really need an app that allows streaming from my pc to thetablet!

 

[DarkShadow]

The way the touchpad renders wallpapers is horrible. There's no way to change BG colour nor stretch images. Booooo.

Any work grounds other than resizing locally?

Its in the settings section, basically puts it in a photo frame mode where is displays pretty pictures or the time etc on the screen.

Lets hope CPW has the case in-store really shouldn't of left it so late.

Well, looks like my touchpad is going back. I was in the middle of upgrading to the latest version of WebOS, the pad froze at 12% for about an hour so i tried to reboot and have not been able to get the thing to respond since then. I've tried to charge it overnight and pressing a million different button combinations with no success. No lights come on at all. I wonder if Argos will be able to exchange it or if they will just refund it.

 

[james.miller]

how big is the bluetooth keyboard? Can anyone who has one see if it will work with a windows 7 PC over bluetooth too?

Should also work on the pc, it definitely works on the ps3.

Stupid questions:

Wheres the Skype app? Not been able to try the camera at all yet...

Do people find the Touchstone hard to use when the Touchpad is in its case? It just seems an ill-elegant design to have the hinge of the case on the same side..

Worth doing a WebOS app thread? Or maybe just collate the good ones on the first post?

Under phone & video calls.
You can also download a camera app from the app store but the camera is pretty terrible.
