Unfortunately (if you see what I mean) the paid-for version 4.0 is much, much better & totally Touchpad compatible.
If you can find the charging cradle for a reasonable price, that's quite fun.
Not as far as I know. GreyHair has got it across 5 tablets, but with their blessing and in the cause of artfaggery. It phones home regularly, so any jimmage would have to through a patch rather than a serial.
I saw that. I particularly saw the way it's been called the "Lower Your Expectations Edition". I'll be waiting till it's not an Alpha, at the very least.
It's a shame in a way. WebOS just looks like a much nicer (and more flexible) platform. But, as Manthorp has said, there's fuck all apps for it.
Pfft. I'm running the alpha CyanogenMod on my HTC Sensation and it works fine!
Admittedly the HTC Sensation was designed to run Android, so it running CyanogenMod isn't too far fetched an idea compared to the TouchPad which wasn't.
I'd still do it though.
Ignoring the WebOS's abilities, it would have been nice for it to have been successful just for the increased competition and therefore the extra choice available to consumers.
It'll be a dark day when the EU allows software patents.
Hopefully they never will. I mean... no one can look at the insanity that's breaking out in the US and think that would be a good idea here surely. Then again since when have lawmakers cared about anything other than which lobbyist is paying the most.
At least Google are openly anti-patents. Hopefully they'll mobilise if it ever looks likely.
But yeah, WebOS looked interesting being a bit closer to a desktop OS. I would've been tempted to get a WebOS tablet when they got cheap. Now I'll just wait til they get to the point where they can run a full-blown linux/moblin I think. I really don't fancy Android on a tablet.
Yeah, don't think it hasn't tempted me. But at the moment I can find other things to distract me, so I'm not in a huge rush.
