Just picked up a 32gb for $240 and price matched that targus case at ncix for $12.78 lol, damn nice case for that price lol if anyone is looking for the link to price match it's on bestdirect.ca

So basically $255 for the 32gb and a nice case, I'm satisfied

WebOS has lost it's support from HP, it's only going to be a few months without any security updates before this device will become a liability to the person using it. it's use in the future now relies on third party programmers willing to either work around the problems that WebOS brang to the touchpad or bring new operating systems to the table like Android or Linux (Debian/Ubuntu or something similar) also jailbreaking is an apple term, nothing else is jailbroken

My Nokia N95 8GB doesn't have any support for it anymore either...Yet it still runs like a tank with no problems....


:okay:

[Hondaracer]

Of course the one I buy from buddy is fucked..it turned on the first time
Right out of the box and went into a auto calibration then a
Manual one, once It was done it didn't give me any option to continue etc

So in the manual it says charge fully before setup, I've had it on the wallcharger for 2 hours now and it won't even turn on now..hmm

I've got the receipt etc will any ncix take a return or do I have to go to the one it was bought at?

Hey, a lot of people had been coming in with this same problem. I don't know if this will be the fix for you but it's worth a shot.

Unplug the device unit from the charger and hold the power button for 15 seconds.

Wait...see if anything appears on the screen...If not, then repeat the same process but this time with it directly connected to the wall charger.

Hope this works.

[Hondaracer]

When my charger is plugged in there isn't even the led light coming on so I think it's a hardware

TD has been sending out the 16 gig TP's too but no specific sequince.

Hopefully my 32 gig will come some time next week.

In HP's sept of Pivot, they clearly state that webOS will continue to be fully supported as a platform!

I am selling a completely BRAND NEW, but open box 16G HP Touchpad. I bought it, opened it, got it all set up and realized I don't really need it. I already have an iPhone, desktop, laptop and netbook, and this was just overkill.

Selling for $180 obo. First come first serve.

Touchpad is 100% like new, no fingerprints, never been dropped, no damage, only used for 1 hour and it was sitting on a microfibre cloth on my table while i was setting it up. All boxes and manuals are in pristine MINT condition, no finger prints or dents. The box that the HP box was inside will also be included. The plastic that the touchpad was encased in is still on the touchpad, absolutely nothing has been removed or altered. Like brand new.

Thanks

although if HP does infact continue to support it and it eventually becomes breakable with android etc. having a 32gb tablet for almost half the price of others could make it worth it

I honestly don't think there is any "wait list" at any store...the term wait-list is a crowd control measure...It's a way of providing people with some comfort for a little while as the trend blows over...With a imaginary wait list, the customer at least things that the store TRIED to get them the product and simply couldn't due to circumstances out of their hands.

It's also against a lot of store's policy to "wait list" products. It's a first come first serve basis and unless rain checks or layaways are allowed, a wait list is not something stores generally produce, use and follow through with.

I have a feeling once people drop off buying these things opportunist sellers will start unloading the touchpads at a much cheaper price. I have a feeling that the blackberry tablet prices dropping will help with that as well.

[ecchiecchi]

That's what I'm thinking off. Especially since HP is sending another shipment soon. And people who are looking for touchpads will definitely aim for that. After that, most people who want a touchpad will have one in their hands.

Not to mention, other people who want to buy the touchpad are now changing their mind and are now waiting for the playbook.

[parm104]

Blackberry is already unloading its price for its Touch Pad. They're going a new direction and will be trying to get rid of this current one pretty soon.

However, for those who have played with it, the Play Book is one of the WORST tablets out there. It's incredibly slow and laggy.

The current price is $150 less than what it originally was and this is a permanent price reduction. It can only go lower from here...

I also managed to find 3 more HP Touch Pad cases sitting in the back and snagged them as soon as I could lol.

[Hondaracer]

i've yet to use my touchpad, but i dont see it being worse than the playbook

[LiquidTurbo]

Playbook is such a fail.

I wish these big companies would thoroughly test their products before rush releasing to the public. Even the unmodded HP touchpad was a fail.. I don't understand how anyone thought releasing that touchpad was a good idea, considering how slow and laggy the thing was before all the preware tweaks.

[goo3]

Every week they delay a product, the less money they are projected to make. It's the same reason why buggy PC games were released first and patches applied weeks/months later. Money was the primary driver of when a product was released, and it worked because everyone else operated the same way. Triangle: cost, quality, time.

Then consumer expectations changed, particularly within the mainstream, because Apple established a new benchmark, and old habits die hard with some of these managers.

[Mr.JDM]

^Nice! Can you sell me one? :D

Selling any?


sorry guys, the TP's i ordered were for friends and family. I was just doing them a favor since they couldn't order right away.

You don't need to "prime" or "format" lithium batteries. They will come charged at about 50%, and you can begin using it right away. Keep it topped up at all times, and try not to drain your battery and charge it all the time.

Wrong again...CRS is a mod and doesn't have any "MOD" "in his title"...Thanks for trying though. Maybe if you weren't too busy moderating the distribution of cookies and actually doing something that brings value to this forum, you might've realized that little tid bit.

Besides, the majority of the titles for mods here are either inside jokes or non-descriptive. They don't really give any information on what they're a mod of. The whole point of having a title is so that people know who to go to and what that person is moderating.

As I mentioned, it's hard to know who does what here. As far as I'm concerned, Turbo's done more on this forum than you ever will so I'll keep treating him as a mod...Good thing you can't get failed or else you'd have probably set a record in this thread because you keep bumping topics that aren't relevant to this thread...

[Ch28]

What don't you like about it? I'll sell you the Targus one for cheap.

I have the bulkier targus one and I love that way more. Provides a lot more protection because it's an actual hard book styled case. The inside of the case never touches anything other then the screen. The HP case folds out (if you want to prop up the TP) so that same surface that's against your screen is also touching whatever surface you place it on and will pick up dirt/debris from that surface and rub it against your screen.

[q0192837465]

How long have these things been on sale? I asked my manager friend about the ipad 2 (my dad wants one) but he suggested I grab these Touchpads cuz they're only $99. I thought it maybe a scam or a REALLY shitty product but figured if I hated it I could return it anyways so why not. So got two. After playing with it, I wanna buy it for some other people now too. He mentioned "most" stores were sold out, implying it's not completely gone. Maybe shipment just came in today. Who knows. I went to another location FS after and none on display, but I didn't ask any sales people though. Maybe they're sandbagging them for friends/family/staff.

His exact words were "you better get it right now before they're gone". Sounds like total scammy sales pitch right? LOL

If you REALLY want it maybe go to your closest FS and ask them to check which locations have it in stock. Then call the store for them to hold it.

[Cman333]

i bought a 32 GB for my dad a week and a half ago at FS too.

stores ARE getting shipments in, VERY SPORADICALLY though. and employees wont advertise it either. its pretty much kept in house. only reason why i got one is cuz my buddy who works there paid for it so that he could hold it for me.

[Cman333]

Is this a post from a month ago?

Nope.

I didn't know about this promotion/sale going on until I walked into the store today.

I'm thinking maybe they got new stock? I doubt they would purposely let stock sit for one month because it's in the inventory and all the other stores would know they have them in stock and send their customers to that store to pickup. I don't really know though. No harm in asking. I'd say where I got it from but I'm not sure if he wanted me to mention it. So if people really want it bad, go ask. If I can, I'll grab a bunch from my friends store IF they still have it and will allow me to buy more (unlikely though).

Anyone have experience with the Playbook? Depending on how it operates, will either keep or return.

Ordered the 16GB one for $337 after taxes. Apparently some have received an additional $100GC from FS/BB.

You said you have an iPhone, and didn't mention if you also have a blackberry phone, so I thought I'd add:
Currently, as a productivity device, the Playbook is pretty useless without a Blackberry phone to "bridge" with.

There are no contacts, no email, no calendar, no bbm, and no tasks list clients on the device unless you bridge it with a BB phone.

Long story short, my touchpad went in to be exchanged by HP on the 8th and is now missing.. And trying to explain to a person in India the difference between missisauga Ontario and surrey BC has taken HOURS of phone calls..

This is a copy of the letter i sent that "somewhat" explains my situation:


Hello, My name is XXXXXXX and my phone number associated to my account is XXXXXXXXX i'm writing this message only as a last resort to show my absolute displeasure in the service ive been dealing with and continue to receive in an attempt to locate my 32GB HP Touchpad I sent in to be repaired/replaced over 2.5 weeks ago.

Right off the bat i was told that the turn-around for my touchpad to be repaired was going to be 3-5 business days, its now been 3 weeks and i have not heard anything regarding the touchpad, i've made over 10 phone calls to HP now in the last week with little to no success in getting ANY information, my order number associated with the repair is S1511040573414

now before you reply and give me the tracking number "1Z90557F8848821133" which was associated with the package I SENT to be repaired, i'll tell you now that that number is not the same number UPS uses to send the package BACK to me, 3 separate representatives told me this was the correct number and that it had been "received" yes, it has been received, BY TRC/HP CANADA IN MISSISSAUGA ONTARIO, WHERE IT WAS TO BE REPAIRED! not by myself..

After the HP reps told me they use the same tracking number for both me sending the touchpad back to HP, as well as sending the repaired product back to me, i contacted UPS regarding this situation, They laughed at me and said there is absolutely -NO- possible way you can have the same tracking number to send the product back to me so obviously the information these reps have is incorrect and HP still has my touchpad somewhere

THIS IS NOT A UPS PROBLEM, This is HP's problem clearly as a lack of information regarding my product, a missing product, or something else has some about, the bottom line is: I'm absolutely at my wits end as to who to speak to or what to do now, speaking with the rep's through the 1800 number is futile and a level 2 supervisor yesterday even told me once i explained my situation for the 5th time, that he would "Give me a call back in the next few hours to very least update me on the situation" surprise surprise, i received no phone call and am now on hold once again trying to talk to CS on the 1800 number..

I'm at my end of trying, I did not particularly like HP to begin with, but this is it, I will -NEVER- deal with HP again once i resolve this situation, whether i see my touchpad again or not, and I am going to be forwarding this information regarding the difficulties i've had in all my dealings with HP to as many friends/family as possible so they do not make the same mistake I did.

seems like f15 eagle is not available no more

i heard it runs 1.8-1.9 on one cpu and leaves the other cpu at 0 unless it needs to be used


other choices are warthog and f4 phantom

im using the warthog right now and switch between performace and ondemand options

solid 1.7ghz oc

i guess ondemand is good for saving battery? i just leave it on performance setting mostly

It's the same way people can buy a subsidized phone, or pay "retail" for it if they don't want to be locked to an expensive contract. Only this time, the device is subsidized by the software is on it.

Basically apple does the same thing - force you to use their app store, their music store, their everything. Except Apple doesn't have to subsidize the price, since everyone wants one already because of Magic.

The Amazon tablet doesn't have to be a dual core 9.7" IPS tablet either. It can't be shitty, but it doesn't have to cost $300 to make to be able to sell for $100-150.

$249-299 won't work either. Because nobody wants a tablet. Unless it's an ipad (Magic), or unless it's a ridiculous deal.

That's a good question. If you get could the 16 Gb for $99 I'd get it just for shits and giggles. For $50 more than a $32 Gb TP you get a device essentially designed to be the perfect couch potato accessory optimized for browsing and media. Plus its smaller/lighter, so easier to handle for longer periods of time.

I want the Harmony remote software when I finally purchase a tablet, so that throws WebOS out the window.

I'm saying for $50 more you get a device designed to sit on the couch. The TP is just another tablet, while Amazon looks like they've optimized the Fire specially for the things we'd do on the couch.

Don't have a TouchPad to test it out on but seems like they're making good progress.

[b0unce. [?]]

To be clear, you are encouraged NOT to install this software, as the alpha is only a test version and as stated above, there is no claim that it is fit for any purpose. You may experience issues ranging from the benign to the very serious, including potential data leakage, and/or permanent loss of data, and even the possible "bricking" or permanent disabling of your device. Or worse. It can't be emphasized enough how risky its use may be. Try it entirely at your own risk and with full understanding of the potential for problems and acceptance of any consequences that may result.

Supposedly, there is a built in GPS in the TP but is disabled with WebOS.
I will try out the navi when I get home tonight to download the newest maps.

So far what works and what doesn't? or what problems have you run into?

Everything works, except for a home button like on my SGS.
I'm at work so haven't had time to really play with it. My co-worker was the one that installed android 2.37 for me.

Wifi works.
Blue tooth works.

Co-worker installed some GPS program that runs offline with the GPS chip in the TP. I will try that tonight. If things go well, I may delete all the old apps and fully run android apps.

[webOS] [GUIDE] Overclock the HP Touchpad to 1.9Ghz - xda-developers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230912)

This is the way to get 1.7 or 1.9 now.
But having played with Android one night, I don't see the point of OC'ing webOS. Android is far superior other than not being able to multitask.

[Hondaracer]

Is there any easy way to stream content from TP to tv's?

So is there a new update 3.0.4 that cannot load preware now? A buddy of mine bought a TP and it took forever to download and install the newest firmware and now when I tried to install preware it just hung for like 10 minutes

It works fine with Preware if you had it on prior to the update

[Hondaracer]

His TP was bought in August and not updated till now, so can I not download a fresh preware with this new update?

I updated my TP to 3.04.2.77 or soemthign last night, toook me about 20-25$.But its just 1 click update over the air. No hiccups or slow down.

My preware still loads fast and fine. Lost alot of the patches like tap ripple, muffle logging, acceleration of cards, and advance reset option.

Also , lost overclocking , so its back to 1.2

[Hondaracer]

how do i install preware though on a version of 3.0.4 that doesnt already have preware on it?

same way you would install preware before, hook it up to computer via usb.

Follow instrusctions on touchpadplus.com I guess.

[Hondaracer]

Hmm doesn't seem to be working with the new firmware it just hangs on installing..

How long did it take everyone to install it? I swear on my own touchpad it was like seconds

Is $180 a fair price for a mint 16gb? All I expect out of the the tp is just to stream online flash movie and surf.

from the looks of it either get someone to send you a coupon code or find a frd that is a developer

limit 2 per person so ppl might spare you a code if they're nice enough

[threezero]

^^ doesn't seem like it would happen. Need company email + IRS tax number for developers account :(

Having second thoughts, maybe i should wait for the kindle fire? just need a cheap tablet that can do flash and read some .cbr file reading.

Having had my 32 gig TP for a month and a half now, and 2 weeks with CM7, a few things I can say.

Get the 32 gig. You will lose 5 gig for WebOS alone, not sure how much memory CM7 takes up.

IMO, $180 is too much to pay for a 16 gig TP but that is just my opinion. I think a $200 netbook with more memory will do what you want but better.

32gb is going to be like close to $300 with all the cl sellers trying to make a profit (or they didn't buy it during the fire sale)

in that case a 32gb play book for the $300 a better deal?

I don't know about now, but people were only asking for $250 for a 32 gig TP on CL a month ago.
If they are asking $300, they really need to give their heads a shake.

Ask yourself this. Do you really need a tablet. If all you are going to do is surf the net and stream movies, why not get a 10 inch net book? I never played with the playbook so I can't comment on it.
What about buying one of those knock off tablets that are running on Android 2.3?

Anyways, it depends what you want to do with it, too. The Playbook is smaller, lighter, and beefier, so it's obviously stronger as a mobile device than the TouchPad. IMO, the TouchPad is better for couch surfing.
