***The Official HP TouchPad Thread***

[Beans on toast Dave]

best cheap case/stand?

the official case and stand are the only ones to get

if you have a carphone warehouse local pop in, my local ones both had cases in that you cannot order online

Just incase anyone is bored, here is what your touchpad looks like inside

That's interesting, confirms my suspicions that the thickness is more to do with HP wanting it to be thick than actual space constraints. There is so much spare space in there no wonder they could fit a dedicated bass speaker in it!

Sorry if this sounds rude, but could I repeat the question please for owners of kalemsoft full edition, does it work without a web connection please?

yep it does. We took a gamble on it earlier and its fine. Its a really nice program but the ui could do with a bit more sorting, especially for a £6 program.

Asked before but the thread is zooming along!

I'm finding the stock browser a bit basic. Which browser is better featured and supports gestures?

what gestures are you looking for?

Anyone know where I can get something like this in the UK?

Doesn't the hp have near identical dimensions to the ipad.

Yes .

Until I found a genuine Touchpad case I was using an old iPhone_1 case

That's what I'm banking on, unfortunately that case is froma US manufacturer.

Never. Apple would've tried to ban them if they were identical!

 

[hux]

Knowing apple they probably would.

 

[Sukh]

Apple must have patents over tablets in rectangular shape forms

 

[hux]

Don't forget phones.

 

[Sukh]

They have a patent over swiping actions on touchscreen phones used to unlock the screen.

if you can find a touchstone you get a charger with that

if you can find a touchstone you get a charger with that

And the full international kit!

 

[Beans on toast Dave]

And the full international kit!

true, i thought that was kind of pointless tho, as most of the adapters are inc with the normal charger

hmm, I don't really want a touchstone just for the charger

all I want is a spare charger on the cheap.

This looks like it should work combined with a micro usb cable.

If it doesn't work, it's a UK seller so you could return it. Worth a punt maybe.

at a guess i'd say they left space so that future models could fit more in and they wouldn't have to design the whole layout each time. this is the first so the weakest model they'd have planned. they could have (if they continued making tablets) easily seen what features become main stream in the next 6/7 months and then cheaply add them in.
