That "WebOS running faster on iPad" thing is bull****. You know that, right?

I figured as much, but also thought it might be slightly faster because it lost the reason behind the sluggishness during the port.

Also the Touchpad has a faster processor, twice the ram, and a slightly slower GPU. The hardware is cutting edge, the only problem lies with the poorly optimized OS. |

I havent gotten to copying roms over yet but I would assume grabbing the sFTP package from preware will make it much easier --- you can close the cards in landscape mode by bouncing them off the dock... |

I have lived with double space periods since the blackberry. and my androids, and now, this doesn't do it. it always messes with me. Quote:
That redsox game is playing, in real time, in card mode. and I was able to have mail, calendar, facebook, and spazhd all running at the same time as the browser playing a flash player MLB game. sure it wasn't HD, but it was pretty damn good. I like the device, Webos may nto be awesome, but it works. so until ICS rolls out, I think I will be pretty happy with it. |

Anyone curious about the route the Android developers are taking? What I read is they are going Gingerbread (either stock, CM7 or both), then Honeycomb, then Ice Cream Sandwich. With possibility they might skip over Honeycomb depending on where Ice Cream Sandwich stands at the time. At least this is what I read somewhere when this Android port thing was first started.
Now my question is why start with Gingerbread, isn't it tougher to port since its a phone OS where things would have to be resized and etc. I know when they ported Sense 3.0 to my device it was a pain because of the different resolution. I would think Honeycomb would be the easier port for a tablet. The HP Touchpad has the potential to be the HD2 of tablets. I'm hearing things like Windows 8 might be able to run on it, mostly limited by the RAM. Of course thats all speculation. Remember reading about Meego and Ubuntu (posted in OP) running on it. If this occurs hell even just a successful Android port the device might be worth more than $100 on the market and hold its value well. |

Honeycomb is extremely difficult because Google hasn't released the source. Android isn't resolution dependent, it's density dependent. Gingerbread would have no problem with the higher resolution. |

Now that I know there are some good ways to make this thing not suck, I'm excited and hope they ship mine out soon.

For anyone interested, a guy on reddit picked up a TouchPad from best buy which lo and behold came with android on it from the factory. Hopefully the android devs can use this to speed up their development.
Here's the thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comm..._buy_saturday/ |

True but it is a good way to stream over 10k TV shows and movies for free (if you have Prime) and even rent or buy newer content. Considering I doubt Netflix will hit this device anytime soon or at all and it's going to be cheaper than Amazon's upcoming tablet I'm glad to see it does work.

I'm with you, it's definitely a good thing. The last time I used it though, it didn't seem llike I could add titles to a queue, no good way of finding similar titles and they weren't even organized by genre.

Hoping my amazon order goes through so I can start playing with it. Barnes and Noble cancelled my order 24 hours after the purchase
If anyone gets an extra they want to sell, let me know. |

Not sure if it's been covered, but is anyone getting cases for theirs? I think I want one, but $50 from hp seems a bit much, and was thinking of trying an ebay one.

I kind of want a touch stone for it, and I kind of want a BT keyboard folio case...just because.

I'm thinking about one of those $10 case/stands. I initially wanted a Touchstone but they charge more slowly and there's no guarantee it will work with Android (there might be some kind of software controller for it).
