It seems fine for azine, just a little nitpicking and glitches here and there with the browser...

I'm gonna do the preware overclock and turn off logging and what not as it will speed up the device.

So...let me get this straight. Miz whines, cries, screams, rants, sobs, and whimpers for the TouchPad...gets one for still a decent price from Whiskers, and now does nothing but whine more about it...?
For effs sakes...he KNEW it was not made by the Gawdly Apple...so, naturally it was going to SUCKETY SUCK.
Seriously. This guy does not deserve it. Motion to have him give it up or perma-ban...?

I truly believe if he had the iPad, the fact it can't do Flash, can't multitask, is just as heavy...none of those would be factors.
Not a peep. But, nope...HP made it...so, naturally, it sucks.

So, back on topic for a bit before I turn back to teaching Miz a lesson...the TouchPad has indeed shown its worth so far at home, at least for my wife.
She loves it. Since she mostly uses the web to access Facebook, e-mail, and read up on things, it has been perfect for her esp. with the Touchstone and keyboard if she has some extensive typing to do.
As well, when she has looked up a recipe, voila...easy access. And of course, this all has a trickle effect as I now don't have to share my laptop and/or desktop.

What can't you do on your touchpad that you can on your smartphone other than make calls. The whole reason I want one is to me it will be a large smart phone for the couch with a bigger screen. So I see a win. I used to not see it as a win till I got my bigger smart phone. Also never saw it as worth it at $500+ either.

I'm not seeing this scroll bar you're talking about. And for the keyboard I'm used to the button for getting symbols on the bottom left of the keyboard, but in webOS its a tab button. Which in Azine pushes me up to the top of the webpage. And I don't like how when I post or type in a webpage, it doesn't automatically bring focus to the text input.
and yes I like to complain.
I still like this thing

I'm just happy my wife loves it so much.

If I wanted a iPad so badly I would've sold one of my kidneys to the Chinese black market for one
