I think the stock video player doesn't support many extensions.

Adding / Renaming / Reorganizing Launch Tabs.

If you'd like to have more tabs and better organization on your TP, since we can't really create folders like on iPad, here are the current solutions:

1) You can go the simpler route and install Add Launcher Tabs (pre)... This will add two tabs, Games and Homebrew.
and/or
2) If you'd like to create your own, rename and reorgranize, all the details are here:
http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/...auncher_Tweaks

If you have any questions let me know. For the #2, I recommend installing Internalz Pro (in pre), this is a file manager, which allows you to browse and edit files right on your TP.

If you are using Handbrake, the Apple Universal setting plays fine.

You sure about this? You seem to be the only one so far and it's way early for their claim of 6-8 weeks.

At any rate, if it shipped on 9/30, you should have it by the end of the week. What does the tracking info tell you?

If hp will ever send me one, I'll either sell it or port it to full linux or android. I've changed a lot of settings as it is, even with the overclock at 1.7, iPad 2 at mere 1Ghz has a faster browsing experience (minus the flash of course)

Yea that's how I feel too.
Th browsing is leaving with more to be desired on the TP

Only thing I'd miss with the iPad is flash.

Actually the thing i won't miss are flash advertisements with sound. They suck nuts on the touchpad.

Freaking no browser card open anymore and I still gotta listen to them...

I think Whiskers loaded yours with lots of hidden porn or something. Mine is fine.

I think the depravity of Whiskers and Miz's web browsing trumps most of us. They are the 1%.. that and Whisker's wife.

^ no, that's what happens when you too much
and purchase an overpriced and 'used' touchpad




and if I was Miz, I'd run that tp under ultraviolet light, but by now it's too late, I'm sure that Whisker's fruits of loom already graced Miz's face.
