I find that the web browser is soooo much better than Gingerbread on my Galaxy Tab, dont know how it compares to HC but i am impressed.

The accessories look pretty sexy. Shame the keyboard is not as portable as it could be

The keyboard looks pretty naff. No offence

i wish it was a bit smaller, but it is well built and has a very nice feel to it. Can type very quickly on it!

 

[unwashed potato!]

will that keyboard work with most/any bluetooth enabled device?

how much and where from the accessories? I desperately need a case at the least but don't want to pay £30~, can't find any where nice enough to put this, currently it's sat inside a pillow case

Meant nothing by it. Just my taste I guess! Grats on getting it all though!

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.

Power button + button at front gives it a hard reset assuming the button isn't broken.

Can anyone think of a good solution for digital camera photos on this? It's the last thing I need to work out for to replace my Mums laptop functionality. The built in app should let you link with Picasa or something, that would help. Hopefully someone will work out USB host for it eventually :/.

I did this just now, shut down my touchpad. But i can not turn on it, I have to conect the touchpad to my computer to turn it on.

Can anyone recommend any free games specifically for the Touchpad? Got Angry Birds HD so far and Basketmania Free. I don't really want to start purchasing items on this platform, especially as the devices might get overwritten with Android if/when the ports appear.

In Preware I can't see how to identify if the game is for the Phones or Touchpads. App Catalog has about 20 or so that are "For Toucjpad".

I can't seem to find either of the camera apps mentioned in the HP catalog, anyone know if you can download the .ipk for either of them?

Use WebOS doctor, there is a link to it somewhere in this thread.

It could be a little smaller and have a few more dedicated keys.

Thanks a lot for you help. I will do it later, and post the result here. Maybe someone else has the same problem with me.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

It seems that it has a few keys dedicated to the various webOS functions. Presume it is missing all the function keys because it isn't meant for PC usage.

At least it has arrow keys so you can actually move the cursor where you want it without poking the screen for 5 minutes

 

[cellpack]

if anyone is selling at a reasonable price feel free to shout,

On top of the various function keys available on this keyboard a smaller Samsung keyboard also manages to have back, browser, email, voice search, language and app library keys. So the design could have been better.
