So what you think fb, you do any of the tweaks? Set your bookmarks in you browser?

It's a pretty good little tab.

My issue is not with the touchpad but with tabs in general, i can't seem to find a comfortable way to browse and type etc.. Without hunching over the Fucken thing etc..

I have been so busy with work and packing/moving that I havent had the time to do anything with it yet. :mad:

I'll be hittin' you up for info soon, though :cool:

i got this thing fucken blazing! might not have new apps coming from hp but it has a shit ton of stuff comming out every week from the open source community.

application patches that speed up the OS, kernal patches that overclock cpu, visual patches that make the cards and windows transparent etc..

i got this little tab running faster then my main computer. lmao. it does this test FishIE Tank with 20 fish @ 20 fps (frames per second). the ipad2 only manages 10fps. it loads websites and email etc.. faster then my main computer.

with all the tweaks, patches, and overclocking this $99 touchpad is running faster then the ipad 2. i am very pleasantly surprised at this thing and amazed what this thing is capable of with just a little tweaking. makes me wonder why hp didnt optimize this thing to its full capability to begin with.

Finally getting a chance to play with this thing. I really like it. :inlove:

Make sure to do the main update from hp. That alone speeds it up. Settings > system updates.

Maybe one of those cases that has a stand? I plan on getting something like that.

NPR reader (news)

USA today (news)

touch player (video player that will play most files from your computer). i have a bunch of top gear episodes on it and it plays great.)

accuweather. (great weather app with full radar etc..)

interfaceliftHD APP (great wallpaper app)

preware (this is where you download all the patches that speed up your system)

govnah (to monitor and verify the clock speed once overclocked)

it comes with facebook, youtube, and a bunch of other crap but i dont use that shit.

setting bookmarks for your browser makes it a lot easier to just go where you want on the web. waiting for a patch to give the ability to set a home page instead of just opening the browser blank screen, stupid that hp didnt give that feature.

preware community is working on a patch to enable netflix also. will let you know when it is out.

Did you find a cheap one somewhere? The accessories have probably gone up because of the price drop, lol.
