Just my thoughts....
Anyone have tips?
Published on September 7, 2011 By RedneckDude In Mobile Tech

I just got an HP Touchpad. I was wondering if anyone else here has one, and if so, any tips or tricks?

 

Post 'em here!

Yeah, tried that Hank. Thanks, though. It would seem that either my printer isn't compatible, and it is with Android, or that HP's app only supports HP printers.

 

The latter is the case, I think.             [e digicons]:'([/e]

Damn emotes. 

 

Tried again, it tells me that my printer is not currently supported....bummer.

I'm sure folks'll be writing apps like crazy, Jim. Not to worry.

I found Image Worker, and Image Worker Pro that will print images. Good....now for text. 

 

 

Edit: No, it printed a bunch of symbols and letters. Not the image.   Crap.

Yeah, I've had a few bad HP PCs. I still have 3 Compaq PCs, which are essentially HPs. I'll never buy another HP lappy.

I'll reserve judgement on the Touchpad, for now. I'll have to play with it a few days to see what I really think of it.

The HP EliteBook I had was the best Notebook I ever had. It by far out performed my desktop that has higher specs. Like a fool I went and sold it because I wanted a tablet. I have not got one yet but will make the purchase soon.

I can't get the Touchpad to work with my printer. Apparently, it only works with HP printers.

I rest my case....

Anyone know why I can't login at WC on my Touchpad?

We told it not to let you in.

Truth? In the browser's configuration, if there's an option to configure as desktop, choose that. 

Might be because the logon app code doesn't recognize webos. In fact, I'd bet on it. Same prob with some browsers 

and iPad.

You need a browser that can emulate ie or ff. I don't know if such a thing exists for your Touch Pad.

Universe browser review here:  http://www.webosroundup.com/2011/04/review-universe-web-browser-top-pick/

Cost is $2.99 . Can't promise it'll let you log on, or how it'll look on the touchpad.... Check out the return policy.

Sorry, Jim.

You could try looking in the WebOS app store... for the Advanced browser or other browsers...

It allows me to login at other sites. Like DeviantArt, for one. I'll try Maxstyles.

The problem is the code used to write this site as opposed to others.

Sucks...lol.

 

I guess I'll have to live with it.

I have discovered that I am able to login at WC forums,on the Touchpad,  just not the main site.

This Touchpad is too thick and heavy. I am leaning towards something thinner and lighter like ipad 2 or Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1
