So any decent apps for those that have it? Is Zinio on it? The webb app store doesnt have a seach bar...
***The Official HP TouchPad Thread***
- Thread starter Robbo
- Start date
The touchpad uses an older arm A8 core rather than the newer A9 cores used by tablets that run the tegra 2 or apple a5, thus that extra 200mhz is needed to counter the touchpad being clock for clock slower than the a9 cores. In order vs out of order cores may also have something to do with the occasional lag the TP apparently gets.
Still for <£115 it's an epic bargain considering the advent vega is around £200 and utter tripe in comparison.
Does this have enough ****'s to be a official? I'm not sure what the convention is 
I'm not sure I'm that bothered about getting Android on it to be honest, I'm not overly fussed about apps. Really buying it for a nice web browsing experience on the sofa with the odd movie and music.

Got one ordered, to be honest I didn't really need it as I have an iPad but I couldn't resist at the price. Fingers crossed for the Android port!

Does anyone know if this has a DLNA client? Could stream movies from my PC then
Looks like an app called Bhome will do that

I'm sure plenty of people on here would be happy to take it off your hands at cost price if you didn't want it. See how it goes for a week.

Mine has got a big search button/tab on the bottom right of the App screen
By web app i meant the actual hp website's app store link. I dont have the tablet yet so cant visit the "actual" app store.

Why was this moved? All the other tablet threads are in the mobile phone section

Yeah, something we need to keep an eye on in the future.
If it hasn't got any phone capabilities then it should be in this section really.
Got one, so far so good. The browser is decent, flash works well and multitasking is brilliant.

Pretty sure its against the ToC to tether on GiffGaff.
Hope we get an android port even though WebOS is supposed to be pretty slick.
What about things like the transformer and tab 10.1 wifi? Why are they still in the mobiles section?

That's why I said it's something we need to keep an eye out in the future.
But I can get them removed if needs be
Also, we're not going to get pedantic about the whole thing, I understand a tablet could have something a phone does
