I’ve put the overclocking kernel on mine and with that and the reduced logging it’s now noticeably faster – can’t think why HP didn’t make it faster by default. Getting the Kindle app working was a bit of a faff though. Now very pleased with it for a cheapo touchpad!

I guess they don’t have them too fast to minimise overheating and resultant failures, although everything I have read says the overclocking doesn’t seem to effect the heat output or increase crashing unless you go warp-speed to 1.9…

I’ve done few bits and pieces to mine and it’s quite a cool bit of kit – this is coming from someone who has 2 iPhones and only uses them to make calls 🙂

I already have a kindle so didn’t need to install that

I’ve gone to 1.5 to be on the safe side, apparently 1.7 is ok but 1.9 can be a bit flaky. Most of the time it only seems to use one of the CPUs and that’s throttled back to a few MHz so can’t see it frying itself.

Rio earlier…

It’s easy once you’ve bypassed the EPS manifolds and rerouted the power to the main deflector dish.

lol! Next mission is to try to get it to stream mkv files from a uPnP server. Oh, and to find out how to turn off autocorrect, currently driving me round the bend, hObO <= supposed to be uPnP. 😈

I ended up buying a Motorola Xoom on Flash’s recommendation. Well pleased with it I must say so!

I managed to get one but I’m having trouble getting it to link to my PC, I have a wired LAN & downloaded a program called Connectify to make my PC’s Prism card a wireless hotspot, my smart phone connects to it instantly but the Touchpad won’t – any ideas before I put it back in the box & bung it on Ebay?

Dunno if this is of any use?

Kato, you can buy me a pint in repayment, when you’re not working and I’m in the bleeding country! (Mid -Sept is looking good, before a few weeks including Paris, Moscow, Barbados, Boston, Washington, Sydney and more…duw it’s hard…)

I saw that Dell number, £235 @ Dixon’s airport…Advent Vega still £180.

Sounds like with enough hot-rodding they can all be very good?

HP are doing refunds.

Refund eh? Now it makes almost more sense to buy one for full price and claim it… The wife did say she wanted something bigger than her HTC Wildfire to use.

Gutted. Only applies to tablets activated before August the 23rd

if their purchasing price was higher than the HP defined minimum price level also illustrated in the table below and they have been activated/registrated within their webOS account before 23rd of August 2011

Ed: yeah, you had me wondering though for a minute

How’s everyone getting on with theirs? – I think it’s bloody great TBH

Rather than abandoning WebOS, HP have just released an update and there’s now a version of Android Gingerbread working if folks want it too
Can’t see the point of changing the OS myself though

Web os is superb. Deserves a crack at the title, damn shame it didn’t get it…
