Was excited to see a package from HP when I got home. But, when I opened it, it was just the paper I ordered with the touchpad to get the $30 discount.

Try using headphones, they'll sound better thanks to the sound processor!

Will it sound better even with my POS headphones that came with my iPhone where I need to turn up the volume to max just to hear something? And I'm too cheap to buy new ones?

By the way, your TouchPads will be laggy at first. You'll want to get the software update as soon as possible. Also, the operating system uses what is called 'Synergy' which constantly syncs your contacts, emails, Facebook etc. Once thats done, it should respond much more quickly.

I love it. Got my GF an ipad this past Jan but didnt see the hype about tablets. But after playing with the Touchpad can definitely see their usefulness.

I kinda wish I got the 32 gig though...

Truth be told, I'm an android fanboy so I'm eagerly waiting for the android port... Apparently someone bought one running froyo and has already dumped it and put it up on rootzwiki.
