[h1]HP TouchPad: Everything you want to know[/h1]
By James Kendrick | August 26, 2011, 5:05am PDT

Summary: Tips and tricks, apps and accessories: Here’s everything new Touchpad owners need in one place.

It is hard to believe the HP TouchPad has only been around for a few weeks given the checkered past it has already lived. It went from also-ran to the top seller on Amazon in days, and according to some estimates has sold hundreds of thousands of units in the last week. Based on the correspondence I am receiving from new TouchPad owners I believe those figures may be accurate.

Many of these new TouchPad owners are craving for information about their new tablet, and many questions I am spending hours each day answering are in fact answered in articles I wrote before the bizarre scenario played out. It seems like a good idea to gather all of my articles about the HP TouchPad together in one place for easy reference.

One reason that early reviews of the TouchPad routinely panned the device for poor performance out of the box was due to the way webOS handles the initial Synergy syncing. Synergy brings together all of the user’s social networks, email and contacts from all over the web so the TouchPad can do useful things with them. Unfortunately, this initial syncing in the background can take a day or two if enough accounts are configured, and there is nothing that can be done about the performance hits while the syncing is taking place. Once the syncing completes the performance becomes pretty good, so let it happen and expect possible lagginess in execution for the first day or so. Things get much better after that.

Do NOT post about ROMS, you will get banned.
 
Well i like this to be more on modification, tips, tutorial and accessories. the other thread is more on hunting that touchpad. since lot of people still looking for touchpad.

Ill post my accessories later.
 
Na, I like this. Too much of the other thread is about copping.

Anyway, I still can't find a simple camera app. Anybody find anything?
 
After getting the HP case, I need some sleeve that i can carry around. I look for something padded and with side pocket for the charger and cable. I got this in walmart for $14.99, fits perfect with maybe 1/2 inch room vertically. i really like it.. i also want that hard case from ebay but its around $24.

Instant viral video.. "HP Touchpad freak out" 21310313091903 views
 
Yea the old thread is 50+ pages of buying. when you look through a thread you want first few pages with actual info and what not. not about people looking for them, thats why i made a new thread.

DigiCamera Still Life but using the front camera as a rear cam is a pain.
 
Sup with some App reviews guys?

I want to know how well Video Flood works, it looks like a great app

and is there any app out there where you can edit and create new doc files? QuickOffice having only a view option is dumb -_-...unless they updated it
 
In regards to cases, these will fit into 1st generation iPad cases. Obviously not the conformed-style ones, but the binder-type and sleeves...
 
Anyone looking for cheap case Walmart selling Griffin Elan Passport for ipad 2 for $15 (YMMV). This case cover four corners of the pad only which is good for HP touchpad as we need the bezel around it. check youtube for reference.
 
good thread, hopefully android will soon be a reality
 
thanks for the thread post! didnt feel like searching between pages 47-110 for the tips and tricks page.

Make sure you're all running on the most recent version of Web OS. I wasn't, so none of the camera apps were showing up in the App Catalog.
