Got the HP Touchpad Tab for $99!!

[Bouncer]

So how you liking it FB?

I love mine. We took it out to Chicago with us, watched all kinds of movies and show on it etc..

the stand we got for it makes it much more useful when typing.

did you download any of the things to make it faster?

[FitnessBrat]

I'm liking it. I haven't done any traveling with it yet, but I'm probably going to take it with me to Amsterdam next month. I bought a case with a stand - love that.

So, now that I'm starting to use it, what should I do to it? I've only done the first update, nothing else.

Also, any recommended apps yet?

you have to download preware on to your computer and then send the file to your pad. just connect with usb.

once you have preware on the pad you will be able to download all kinds of tweeks etc.. that will turn your average if not slow pad into a speed demon. from preware you can download a movie player etc..

The trip will be for pleasure. My brother is deployed in Africa and will meet us in Amsterdam for some R&R. I can't wait!
