intuitive isn't it.

The gestures are miles better than a back button, yeah.

I did the maxblocker one yes, removed but still getting a black screen when I press play on the video. Maybe I'll try a cold boot.

EDIT: or I cold just read the instructions on that page properly. Will clear the cache etc as well.
EDIT2: that fixed it, thanks

No worries, my friend had the same issue whereas I didn't. Took us a while to see that I hadn't installed that patch while he had

It's not difficult really. The home button also takes you into the card view so that you can throw things off screen that way as well, if you find that a bit more obvious.

No more difficult than swiping through photo/music albums

How are you watching 4od? When I try via the website I just get a black box now. Flash seems to work fine on iplayer etc. Did you do the tweaks in the link on the first page? 4od used to work when I was on stock 3.0.0 but when you went full screen the navigation bar used to obscure some of the middle of the screen.

Stock was running fine now I've updated and patched I've had to remove adblocker and now only on 4OD on Youtube haven't tried 4OD again

My 2 new cases just turned up, very nice

So one thing I'm confused about is I didn't appear to do anything but the software version is 3.0.2, is it now shipping with it as default.

Which case is that, have you managed to find the only third party one which doesn't cover the bezel?

Eww you got a screen protector on that haven't you? Gorilla glass you know.. makes it ugly and pointless (IMO of course).

no, it is my camera, it is so bad, it can't pick up the finger prints properly

Had to disable flash it's just too random

What? I meant until Honeycomb is working properly on the Touchpad. A normal version of 2.2/2.3 isn't going to be nicer than WebOS for me at least.

Next time post what you actually mean. It does help.

I thought that it would be fairly obvious, sorry.

It certainly exercises the fingers.

How can I stop this thing turning the screen off when listening to a radio stream on iPlayer?

I'm using Kalemsoft Media Player (Beta) on my tablet (found here - http://kalemsoft.com/betas/) and their server on my computer.
I'm not really sure how it works, all I know that it does work and is very quick. Once you select the avi on the tablet it opens up almost immediately.
It's worth trying. You need to install the beta through WebOS on your computer.

I am sitting on the train, and have just found out that kalemsoft won't play some films I have put on the touchpad without wifi access. Slightly bizarre Nd very annoying. I think it will work only when your account is registered - obviously trying to make you pay.

Is there any decent genuinely free media player? I am surprised hp didn't bundle something themselves.

Fingers crossed my daughter doesn't wake up, I had planned to entertain her with teletubbies on the touchpad!

I am guessing it may download updates in the background.

the power button of my touchpad is not working. I can not use it to lock the sceen, and turn off the touchpad. what should i do? i have already update it to 3.0.2.

Does look nice actually- it doubles as a stand?

I am tempted to get one, would be useful on the train for example.

I tried TouchPlayer off PreWare, but playback is laggy and there are no on-screen controls.

Get HP to sort it under warranty.
