Touchpad is about to become the best Android tablet on the market. So, no.

4. Open /etc/palm/browser-app.conf
Where do I open that?
Why would you do that? said:About multi-tasking... I love WebOS's multitasking very, very much. I can even have a couple diffferent games open at once, while browsing the web. It'll be the thing I miss most when I put on Android.
But the only other OSes I've used are Android 2.2 and an old iOS without multitasking. How does Honeycomb (I read it has actual multi-tasking, similar to WebOS's cards) and current iOS compare?
Isn't it Gingerbread? It won't be the best Android tablet on the market 'til it runs Honeycomb or later imo.Unknown Soldier said:Touchpad is about to become the best Android tablet on the market. So, no.
And yet, I open a couple of browser windows and they suddenly become unresponsive and blurry as fuck. :|Why would you do that? said:About multi-tasking... I love WebOS's multitasking very, very much.

Copernicus said:Seriously, if Honeycomb on tablets is like syphilis, then Gingerbread is going to be like having the black plague.
You don't want the black plague, do you dream?
dream said:Oh I know. webOS has terrible memory management.
I got a Too Many Cards error with 3 apps open the other day. This thing has a gig of ram!
It's okay. It's open and, thus, curable.
Unknown Soldier said:It's so cute to see Coperdickus switch to Hate Mode after he gets shot down trying to a Touchpad of his own. Cute, and also kind of sad.
dream said:He'll never admit it but Coperdickus has always hated webOS. He just wanted to make Ulairi and MrPliskin feel better.
On iOS I can't browse GAF, click a YouTube link with a cool song on it, let the song play and switch back to my GAF window and return to browsing and posting as the song plays.dream said:I think webOS multitasking has always been overblown. Take your example -- the games you're playing are paused in the background while you're using the web browser anyway, so why does it matter if it's "true multitasking" (which webOS 3.0.2 takes steps away from) anyway?
I think iOS and Honeycomb does the same things with more responsiveness and greater efficiency.
Well I haven't used Honeycomb or new iOS, so I can't compare. If Honeycomb can easily switch between open applications in a way similar to WebOS (and looking at a video online, it seems to), then I'll be quite happy.dream said:I think webOS multitasking has always been overblown.

Oh yes, that's extremely annoying. I have no idea how that browser is so messed up... At least it runs Flash okay.Rorschach said:And yet, I open a couple of browser windows and they suddenly become unresponsive and blurry as fuck. :|

You're still using the Touchpad?! What happened to your other devices?dream said:I got a Too Many Cards error with 3 apps open the other day.
The Big Rig said:I bought an iPad case with a built in bluetooth keyboard that works great. Works with the touchstone too.

It was in stock through amazon when I bought it though.

http://androidandme.com/2011/09/news/another-reliable-source-confirms-ice-cream-sandwich-is-coming-in-late-october/Another reliable source confirms Ice Cream Sandwich is coming in late October?
Earlier this month Googles ex-CEO Eric Schmidt told a crowd in San Francisco that the next version of Android, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS), was coming out in October or November. Thats in line with most of the rumors floating around the web and this weekend another insider also suggested ICS would be out by October.
This time the information comes from Notion Ink CEO Rohan Shravan who announced in a company blog post that Google would launch the official ICS update in late October. He goes on to make a bold prediction and reports that Notion Inks Adam tablet will receive an update to ICS by November.
Rohan also says that Texas Instruments OMAP4 is the lead platform for ICS, which we pretty much confirmed back in August.
It is worth noting Rohans statements because he correctly predicted the launch date of Gingerbread (Android 2.3) late last year. Rohan said Gingerbread would be announced on December 6th 2010 and thats exactly what happened.
The guys at PhoneArena reached out to Rohan for more information and he replied that Notion Ink is not on the list of official ICS launch partners, but they had been working on the update with their community friends for a long time and thats why they expected to update their tablet so soon.
If we look back at last year, Google announced Gingerbread and the Nexus S on Dec. 6th and then the device went on sale just ten days later on Dec. 16th. The latest Nexus Prime rumors are suggesting a release around November 3rd, which is within ten days of a late October announcement.
Hopefully Google sticks with their release schedule and gets the Nexus Prime with Ice Cream Sandwich out on time. Im ready to go wait in line at Best Buy and pick up my new phone.
When do you think Google will launch their next Nexus?
So I guess no one else is in this situation? It feels like HP is stalling or something. I was first told my Touchpads would ship on 9 Sep.Mook1e said:I got my order for two 32GB touchpads out on the 21st, and I'm being told I have to wait 6-8 weeks before receiving my touchpads. Is anyone else in this situation?
No one knows. I would guess it's still a few weeks away from a release, at least, but it could be much longer.BigJonsson said:Android is close now?
Dunlop said:Just occurred to me, I ordered the charging docking station. Will this thing actually work on the Touchpad once there is an android OS ported on it?
i.e does the wireless charging functionality take place 100% at the hardware level?

@dalingrin : should charge but wont have dock like features yet
There's a patch (or was it Linux application) in Preware that boosts the TouchPad's max audio level.Bleepey said:is there a way to get the volume to be at a level which is actually audible. This shit was too low.
You mean a dead pixel? Yeah, I have one. A red one. Sad part is, it wasn't there for the first few days I had the TouchPad, so it just creeped up on me.taku said:So I have been playing with my new Touchpad since I got home from work.. So far, this thing is great after all the updates/tweaks/overclocking! I am quite happy aside from a very mysterious and somewhat smallish round dot (lightleak?) in the lower right corner of the screen. I will try to grab a photo of it later on.. it is bugging me out, man!
Anyone else experience this?
(Wrote this on mah tee-pee! Feelsgoodman.jpg)
Nah man.. a light leakage! It's actually shaped like a circle :/Why would you do that? said:You mean a dead pixel? Yeah, I have one. A red one. Sad part is, it wasn't there for the first few days I had the TouchPad, so it just creeped up on me.
