Wow look at this listing
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-TouchPad-...-/230664585087
One is going for $1300 with 36 bids. People are crazy man. If any of you managedto get one I will put Android on it for you and we can split the crazy profits :)

Edit
Aparently its a unique Qualcomm device and will get the owner a $1500 bounty for some reason...

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

I don't understand that either. Why not just buy.......an Android tablet!

It reminds me of the clamour to get N64 games to run on the N900. Such a painstaking process and I wonder why people go to such trouble.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Yeah free online storage is always nice :D

There are already topics on the webos forums where the community are working on a patch for tethering. It is not just the n900 that the pad will not find.

Roll up, roll up, come an' getchor HP Touchpads here,

You got a link for that pic mate?

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

That looks like the PCWorld website to me, but no trace of the HP Touchpad when I did a search on that site.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Lol im sure if there were any left in UK the staff have already got their mucky paws on them!..

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

True, tried with Nokia E7 also,it couldn't see it. HTC desire worked like a charm .

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Thanks. That's what I get for speed reading.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Got my Touchpad today...
Overall Comgateway is pretty good, their price is the cheapest i've found so far. and the payment method is simple..but it's not recommended if you want fast delivery, it took them 4 days to register my tablet to their warehouse. (Shipito took less than 2 days usually)

Anyways,
been playing around with touchpad,
i was wondering,
is there absolutely no way to teether n900 with this?
I tried mobile hotspot and joikuspot but none worked

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Welcome to the club mate :)

As of yet, there is still no wifi tethering, but there is a topic on the pre central touchpad forum for a bluetooth tether that I have still yet to try.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

My TouchPad is finally a computer:

Attachment 22444

This terminal app is the result of hacking on SDLTerminal.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

WebOS sure is nifty.

I'm not a traitor! It was $149!

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

hey, I'll be in the US soon (tourism), do you think it's possible to get one while I'm there?

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

AFAIK they are sold out and the next batch is coming in October.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

there is some progress on touch-droid front

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Do you have a link, I will be able to try it tonight, I am keen to get it working with n900.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Here you go -webos-phone-fully-tetherd-hp-touchpad

I have not tried it yet but it would be nice to see the n900 on that list. Had some success with vnc though :D but it does require ubuntu to be installed.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Thanks, spent few minutes understanding both liste, one on TMO about BT PAN tethering and the one you listed above from Precentral. No success really, could get he BT pairing working but could not browse internet, must be some network settings required on TP, some TCP IP settings need to be changed may be for it to work.

Any idea?

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Actually, I could place a phone call using instructions on the youtube video, not sure if I can do a web browsing, I will post question back to precentral to see if web browsing was possible

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Gotta say, this post has to be the most interesting on the whole forum.

I am still trying to be sure that I understand injecting wifi drivers before giving it a shot. It might be asking if any of out maemo guys could help?

Edit: check out post 6 of that thread (darn tp)

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

will be a cool application when ready

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

It's back, but it appears, for now, only for the few and lucky HP employees. Any TMOer with HP that wants to share?

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Damn it, damn it, damn it .... tO HELLL!!!!

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

I finally took the bite, and ordered one 32gb via eBay for $249+$9 s/h. My time is much more valuable than a mere $100... i can't or shouldn't afford to keep looking for like, weeks?

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

@ don

I think that is the best route, i got myself one off ebay and another off amazon. HP has not given any garauntee that there will be enough for those who are still wanting to order at the fire sale price.

And hanging around the HP forums, i really wish some of the tmo developers would look at developing apps for WebOS....yes it is a dream, but i think that webOS might just do the phoenix thing and rise from the ashes.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

If the guy from facebook put his eye on WebOS we are pretty sure that they can face android with strong force. I mean, who in this planet doesn't have facebook today? In my country the 90% of the people seems to have a blackberrya t least, the rest is nokia (symbian) and android. But everybody use their phone to get on facebook ALL DAY. That means that there is a clear market to WebOS if facebook buys it.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Just sold my TP, (for like twice the price :p)

I'm kinda dissapointed though,
The browser is just terrible, there's no option to save password.
and there's no tabs.
I can't believe they release half-baked browser for their only tablet.
Going from microB, (which is an excellent browser) this is just not good enough for me

But the main reason i sold it is because it's wifi only, AND it does not work with Mifi that i just bought :(

I thought i could use mifi to replace 3G,
guess i'll have to look for a 3G tablet now..

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

^That's just stupid. Can't you get a working MiFi?
Or is a problem with the TouchPad's wifi? It should be covered under 1yr warranty @HP.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

No, it works with normal wifi,
but i can't get it to work with mifi

Maybe this explains why :
http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touc...anet-mywi.html

But I travel alot so i need a portable wifi,
So this is a huge disadvantage for me.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

I see, 'tis a shame.

You could've posted on here, some members/friends (..me) could've bought it rather than a stranger. Anyways, what are you thinkning of getting now?

The OG SGTab, Amazon Fire, ASUS Transformer are good buys. If you want full USB with HOST, and full SDcard, and N-Pen... there's the ThinkPad Tablet. The PlayBook is not too bad either.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Has anyone else tried Splashtop on their TP?

It is very nice with win7, I wonder if we can make it access the n900 somehow?

edit: here is crysis running through TP with sound streaming

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Yes splashtop works pretty well.

regarding what someone said about the browser - mine auto saves passwords and if you want tabs get advanced browser from the app store. Flash works flawlessly and after installing some patches from preware its fantastic.

on the negatives I have to send my touchpad back to HP for repairs as cracks have appeared on the top where the speakers are. Shocking at built quality especially from HP. The plastic will fall off if I continue. Apparently this is a known issue and HP customer service were excellent in arranging pick up for repair.
if anyone else notices these cracks appearing call HP asap.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Gotta agree with you on advanced browser, I don't use tabs too much on the touchpad but the ability to "swipe" in browser to go back to last page was something I have wanted for ages. WebOS is a swipe monster but lacked this simple gesture. I am very happy now.

Sorry to here about the cracks afaq, hope you get it replaced soon mate. It's nice to know a few maemo-ians owning them too.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

classic hp build quality. I own an elitebook 2710p tablet for less than 6 months (and use it for a few hours every day, I now have a desktop at work) and the palmrests have already worn off. (Not wearing a watch or anything, just normal usage) My previous laptop (dell precision) which I had for more than a year and used for more than 10 hours a day is like new.

Re: HP WebOS TouchPad for $99!
 

Believe me or not, but I LOATHE Facebook and have blocked it; the website and also their several tracking tools / techniques where and how I can able to. Disclaimer: I still have an account in another small social network, but here European data privacy laws apply. Not being active there that much anymore. I don't wanna see people's stupid chitchat, what they ate, what photos they took during vacation, and especially their even more stupid flash games requests/status messages. So back to email and phone. And I was very vocal that if somebody uses their and my email address to send me an invitation or something related to FB, I will block those too. My privacy is much more valuable than some perceived easyness of communication and "fun". I now even poke fun of some people for showing stupid and careless behavior regarding the web and companies / things "that do you good".

Regarding hotspot connectivity, I was not able to use MobileHotspot on the N900 with a GalaxyTab 10.1 too. And check your PreCentral link, it seems its a not-too-seldom issue for tablets. Anyway, Advanced Browser is ok, nothing special, but was just recently updated to open tabs in background. We are slowly getting there... And I can read eBooks in a good way with the Kindle application and sideloading. Quell HD and Jigsaw Master are addictive too...
