Anyone have tips?

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!

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.

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

I finally got Advanced Browser....it still won't let me sign in to WC. I can sign in on the forums though, just not the main page.

Just a side note, if you own an HP Touchpad, you can get 50 GB of free space at Box.net.
But you must install the Box app on the Touchpad and join from there. Then you can login and save stuff from any machine.

No issues, and I didn't see the video. Linkage?

Also, the video I watched for the instructions leaves out a step. The ACMEInstaller needs to be extracted into the Palm, Inc. Directory or the command prompt can't find it. Took me a few minutes to figure that out.

When booted into Android, hit the market and snag Fire Fox. I can log into all of WC and post too.

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.
