***The Official HP TouchPad Thread***

Used this instead of the iPad over the long weekend to get a proper feel. Every so often, it seems to hang for a few seconds then pick up again (got all tweaks and 1.5ghz OC).

In some ways its better than the iPad (Flash), but in others, my iPad pips it (no brief freezing, Sonos app, constantly smooth etc).

The touchstone + exhibition mode is awesome though.

i am glad i got one of these. I can see a lot of potential for it now that so many people have got one.

In a few months i reckon we will have solid android on it as well as some more great apps for WebOS

i wouldnt be holding my breath for CM7, it seems to take a lot of work to port, the SGS2 still doesnt have an RC

I bought the luvtab genius case from amazon and its great with its magnets and all buttons / speakers / sockets are accessible

Scrub that it was £9.99 last week, the robbing gits have bumped it up to £19.99 this week Touchstones are £85

Are there any standalone fold-able/small stands ONLY? Would be nice to integrate it with a case but they are just too bulky in my opinion.

Conversely are there any EXTREMELY low profile cases?

Right now I am thinking about a cheap silicone case to keep it safe in while lugging it about but using it bare and having a stand available for video.

This is what i am doing. Managed to nab a discounted Touchstone so just using that when at home and im just going to buy a cheap case from poundland or something to transport it.

How has this guy got his facebook icon on the launchbar at the bottom?

I think you can just drag the icon on, but you may have to remove something from there first.

I might try get one of those cheap bendable stand things and see if it can handle a tab for on the move use.

Am I right in thinking no-ones managed to get AVIs playing back on this whilst not connected to a network yet?

buy kalemsoft instead of using the trial....

Simply hold down on an app you dont like in the launchbar and then drag it away from the bar, then open up the app draw and drag onto the bar something you like.

Breffo Spider Podium Tablet looks like it could do the trick. Little more than I was hoping though @ £13-15

Ah that worked, stupid me

Just need a way of getting more icons on there now, hopefully i can find a patch.....

Ended up with a spare Touchstone, going to use it in the kitchen as a stand.

All need now is Sky Go

What bright spark came up with the idea of geo-locking apps, second round of 6 pack promo codes for the US.

LCars clock is quite cool and you can enable as your exhibition

DVDJon is working on adding TouchPad to his DoubleTwist app.

Works well with Android's on Mac & Windows, so he's released a beta for the TP which I'm about to try out.

Even if it syncs some iTunes playlists it'll have done enough for me, cos' I can't see a easier option.

FAO official HP Touchcase owners - Have you guys got a problem with stability whilst it's standing upright? Might seems to rocking, as if the bottom is slightly warped.

My fears are if I take it back to CPW, they won't be able to replace it due to stock?

Also, is there any way to test ad block - I don't think it's working for me.

you just have not got the velcro in the right place, adj and try again

I'm trying to disable the developer mode password that I put in before reading the tweaks thread.

"The solution on Windows seems to be to use the novacom command from the command line:

novacom -r <password> -c login"

Where or how do I enter the above command?
