***The Official HP TouchPad Thread***

[Sin_Chase]

Are there any apps or web-based services (that work with the Touchpad's browser) for Windows Live? Web-based Trillian doesn't work and I can't seem to find any others.

Sign into web based Hotmail and use it there?

Real shame there is no HP Synergy plugin for the native chat app as it would be complete

 

[Russinating]

Doesn't seem to work!

A good way of using facebook chat on the touchpad was via this link;

http://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php

Once you have logged in, its easy to use and very clear.

 

[Cosimo]

Yes, connected to my mobile hotspot.

Awesome, going to try that once I'm home. Can't believe that is missing from this app.

Don't you just browse to their website and download it from there free?

hate all those scumbags then brought more than 1 Tablet just to sell on as more money.

They have no souls.

You do but free version needs constant wifi connection to play videos which is no good on a plane.

Anyway, still cheapest to buy the full version from their site, almost half the cost on App store.

My free copy no longer works, evaluation period has ran out. Created a new account, reinstalled everything but I assume it links the IP address of the computer that the server is on and limits you that way. If it plays 720p avis flawlessly, without me having to do anything, then I'll happily pay it. I just want assurances that it does that. I also want it as cheap as possible!

You can use preader to read .mobi books, it's not brilliant but will do until Amazon sort out the kindle app.
