Seeing as the most trended topic on twitter and the news over the last few days is the Touchpad, I think I'll share how to speed up your system.

And to confirm, this works with any Touchpad (16/32/64GB) and it does indeed speed up the system in real world use.

    Heh heh, once you remove most of the logging stuff (really have no idea why they have it to such a extreme, all it logs is what time you opened mail app and closed it etc etc and it negatively affects the battery and the performance quite a bit) the system really does become a very nice piece of kit.

    I brought it with the intention of going full Android on it, but WebOS isn't actually all that bad, and the multitasking is nice, so I might just keep it and watch for future webOS updates (be it directly from HP or from the Open source community)

    Side Note, Half price Accessories here.
    The inductive charger really is the best bit, even if you only use it as a photo stand.

    It'd be fun to have one, unfortunately I was too slow :) I'm not going to go crazy trying to get one though.

    This would explain all the reviews saying it felt sluggish - how silly.

    If I did have one, with this in mind I'd stick with WebOS if enthusiasts are going to develop it.

    Keep a eye out tonight or perhaps friday

    This is what I use to keep a track not that it matters for me, I just occasionally glance and see where and who has one.

    They are very nice though.
