Hewlett-Packard: TouchPad News and Discussion Thread
apparently the Touchpad can't handle 330MB PDFs with 2000+ pages. I just crashed it.

For the people complaining about paying a measly $5 for an app. You guys suck.
C'mon - 5 bux is cheap for useful software. Try buying windows or mac software for that price.

IMO, Most stable is 1.5 ghz - I kept crashing on other kernels.
And Splashtop is good (can become much better down the road), so long as you're connected to a decent wireless connection. Trying to run it tethered onto my Atrix is a nightmare. Might as well get it now for $5.00 rather then when prices will jump to $20.00.
Edit: I also got the HP Touchpad Case, and man it is awesome - fits like a glove, is solid and doesn't add to much thickness to the TP. The stand feature of it makes it convenient, but now I can't see my cool cabon fiber back cover.

regarding the cover, I flip mine the to back of the TP and put it on the dock, it charges fine and the screen is fully expose and no ugly flap in front...
Yes, mine also goes to the clock, but this clock is too damn bright for my bedroom.
Splashtop has issues, a nice app, but lagging issues especially if you want to scroll something. (I'm at 1.5Ghz, will go higher soon to experiment)
I need a MIME player, any player that reads video streams... Id like to use the TP standalone without any of my computers involved.

Double click is giving me problems too. But atleast now I have access to all of my files/videos from my Gaming PC and my Media PC now. As for the case covering the clock, I just fold it behind and set it on the Touchstone and it charges just fine.

Is there a good messaing progmra any have tried that would combine facebook, skype, aim..etc..?
Facebook app sucks, and browsing facebook on the website, the CSS is jumpy, so headers and chat fly around
I can't wait to start fully customizing it myself, I got the SDK and the webOS emulator, so we'll see.

Oh, and there is a new update for advanced browser. Seems to be working better, smoother.
Question: How often do Ya'll rebooted your TP? I am finding that I have to do a device restart once at least every day. Otherwise I feel like it gets sluggish even with the OC and other mods. Maybe its just me.

It does feel sluggish after a day, but I really only reboot cause of a memory leak or something. Cause eventually it'll only let me have 2-3 cards open and keeps giving me the "too many cards open" error message...
