I was just joking..My ipad is really just my 2 and a half year olds toy. She is really smart. She goes to youtube and looks at her favorites, listens to her music on itunes and has a bunch of learning apps to play with.

For $99 or $150 (or even up to $250) bucks what's there to nit pick?

IMO, the WebOS browser is smoother than any other Android browser and can play flash. And afaik, there's not a single tablet out there that can properly run "flash heavy" sites.

Well, for starters...the product was not presented by a skinny white guy in a black turtleneck sweater, jeans, and runners.

And the logo is an "H" and a "P"...not even CLOSE to a bitten fruit.




Answer your question? Geez. WTF. Gosh.

Got my Touchstone. Didnt work at first but searching the web found out that some touchstones are flaky and need to be "tapped" on the rear of it to get it working.

Sucks to have to "tap it" to make it work, but it seems to be working awesome now. Hopefully I have no more issues with it.

^ remember to set to private browsing before going to those sites.

I went to see if those sites worked and a few do work.. but my GF saw my Touchpad history and man... did I have to deal with a sh*tstorm.

How do you turn on private browsing?

I'm thinking of picking up the "advanced browser" cause i prefer tabbed browsing. Switching between cards for each page open is quite cumbersome.

But, you also need to send instructions on disabling Flash and multitasking, too!

Especially when you only have one hand free to hold the TP and try to switch between different cards

Just saw this. For the Chicago peeps, might be worth a trip to see if you can land a TP.
