  • I also have this problem.....if you need any solution so please reply me I am so confused ....and also angry......

  • This is a great tablet with Android. I have Cyanogenmod 10.2 with Android 4.3.1 on it and it runs excellent for hardware so old. Antutu 9569 score. The only think i don't like is that it's heavy. These sell for around $100 if you search. Get one, get CM 10.2 or even 11 on it and it will be a good home companion , I promise it.

  • excelente tablet, tiene lo justo y necesario, facebook, twitter (macaw project), tune in radio, whatsapp, skype, chat facebokk, msn, gtalk, box net, dropbox, office, adobe pdf,....... es mi tablet principal, aparte de mi ipad.

  • These are amazing, put android on it and it's perfect

  • for this how to connet the data connect for model hsthn-129c

  • It's solid, can run Jellybean, but it's heavy and battery life is rather worse than the advertised 300hours. It's got great sound. It charges via microUSB. Galaxy 2 has a proprietary charger. I love the Nexus 7 but I haven't $275. You should be able to get the 32GB HP Touchpad for under 200 on eBay.

  • My friend is selling this to me for $200. Should I buy this nexus 7 or galaxy tab 2. And is web os good

  • I use cyanogenmod on mine for android, works like a charm and you can still get to the hp webos if you need to for some reason.

  • not sure, look for wi-fi hotspots in the specs, all android phones that run 2.2 or later hav this

  • if u know so much, does the hp pre 3 hav beats audio

  • They forgot to mention that it consists of beats audio. This is toggled from the settings.

  • can this be paired with any blue tooth stero set device

  • 1 big mistakes no 3g,gprs edge

  • I saw some good videos about Android on the Touchpad! It looks so cool! Gaming Too!

  • Don't get me wrong I really like webOS, I thought it had great potential but I'm currently writing this comment on my Touch pad using Android ICS and its so much better than a lot of tablets around that cost a lot more money. I think ICS is possibly the best operating system for any tablet made so far.

  • i want to know that which Operatng System is said to be the best in Tablets, is it WEBos AND Why ...???

  • It is not a slot for anything (at least in this version) as of now its the place where ur serial number is noted

  • In the touch pad there is a slot given for which thing is the slot used

  • I have touchpad for a good 4 months now. Pros: Nice screen volume is decent Slim and design in durable web browser with flash support decent battery life Cons: Less tablet compatible Apps on web OS experience on web browser was sluggish at times No divx support no rear camera. front camera isn't the greatest

  • webos is by far the best OS. only the iOS can actually compara. I really don´t get the android lovers and believe me I´ve tried galaxy s2, arc s and it just clumzy not well tought out OS.

  • hi people!! I have a Hp touchpad only with wifi, if i buy a Hp Veer 4G can I using as moden phone, because I dont have wifi in my house?

  • I don 't quite understand the comment that webOS is crap. The main reason for ever buying a touchpad is because of webOS. The hardware of the touchpad is nothing special. The iPad beats it hands down for build quality and display quality. Webos, on the other hand has the potential to beat IOS and Android hands drown. If you want proper multi-tasking on a tablet then WebOS is your only choice. Now HP has made it open-source, hopefully we will get to see the OS meet its full potential.

  • Android install directions can be found here! This Tablet really needs Android. Give it what it needs, go on. Android turned this defuncted fire sale tablet into a hot little Touchpad. Once you install Android Cyanogen Mod, It runs great! Web OS is junk and really devalues the tablet. The hardware is good most notably the speakers which rival the levels my laptop puts out. The processor and GPU easily handle Apps and games, GTA 3 and Shadowgun run great. There are of course some glitches. Like music playback being muffled when the screen turns off but all in all nothing too major. Most errors can be solved with a simple reboot. Absolutely fantastic work done be the Cyanogen Mod Team. I just wanted to thank you guys for your hard work and dedication. Please donate to help keeps the support and updates coming. Tweaks--> use juice defender to disable Wifi when the Pad is locked. Also use CPU master to dynamically alter the clock speed based on demand. Add AnTutu Battery saver to limit the max speed of the processor in power saver modes. This will help to ensure great battery life.

  • How to put games on it and how to put msn on it

  • Does anybody experience touch screen not working thingies and cracks beside speakers? Did anybody buy from the refurbished firesale last dec 11? Are they defect free?

  • hi mate, to reset your HP touchpad when it locks up all you have to do is hold down the power button and the button on the screen and the same time for around 15 seconds and it will restart then remove the problem program, once the problem program has been updated buy the developer then reinstall it. I hope this helps all the best jai....

  • I bought 1 as well... can you pls help me wit porting of OS... i mean the steps n precautions tat need to be taken before and after i install? Thank you

  • I bought 1 as well... can you pls help me wit porting of OS... i mean the steps n precautions tat need to be taken before and after i install? Thank you

  • Got one last week for £169.99 new, I think for the price they are unbeatable the webOS is usable but a little lacking, after 24 hours of use I had rooted it and installed android so now it dual boots android 2.3 and webOS good times. If you can got one do so you will not regret it......

I would've bought the Touchpad for my daughter for school (that's good enough for her), but missed it..... If it comes around again I would pickup the $99 version for her...

  • nice price 99,999$ iget it one

  • where did you get it from?

  • can i get this delivered in india? i badly need one.

  • You can order from a USA site and use www.bundlebox.com to post it on for you. They give £15 off first shipping so total is like $99 + £30 so like £110.

  • when it s going to be at 99 euro in europe or switzerland???I want one too

  • The battery capacity is 6000mAh. Great device for just 99$! Have to get one. :)

  • just bought 2 16gb ones for 100$ and 2 32gb ones for 150$ now only thing left is getting an android port =D

  • its going to die now. what the hell it isnt even been growing lol!!!!!

  • according to MobileSyrup HP TouchPad reduced to as low as $99.99 from $399.99

  • Yep...the batery at 1200 mA is not possible...my htc hd2 has that capacity...

  • good bye

  • Nice basic configuration with powerfull processor. With price drop nice to have it. Can someone port an iOS or Andriod on this :)

  • Guys you may want to check and change the battery life which is 6300 according to HP @djsmobiles

  • is this 3g compatible or not?

  • Because you can link the pre 3 with it. and phone using your tab via the phone.

  • Opened about 50 cards and ran smoothly. Already able to get cracked apps @

  • What is the purpose of phone book when the device cant support GSM or SMS?

  • its really easy to program a game or any other apps for the webos 3.0 and there will be a thousand apps soon and it a better os than ios or android, its more than just going on internet

  • Battery capacity is actually 6300mAh.

  • the battery can't be only 1230 mAh...it would last 3minuts..

  • Not at launch, I've heard that arabic, chinese and other languages will be supported shortly after the initial launch

  • They battery mentioned here is a battery fit for a feature phone.But this is a tablet PC.The real battery is a 6300 mAh one.

  • this good phon

  • Hello, Does HP webOS 3.0 support Arabic Language? thanks

  • Lol... what a battery !?

  • Perhaps try and devolop some brain cells before you post something that you did. Technically WebOS is a Linux kernel and not a Unix kernel but Linux is based on Unix. Android and iOS is also based on Linux and have been praised for it so why will devolpers not enjoy another Linux kernel based OS that so far seems to be a brilliant OS. The only problem to date has been demand!

  • yeah ... a really terrible phone ... maybe the reason for that is that... its NOT a phone.

  • i do agree with u, android and ios is more quality apps than any other os. android is super smartphone in my opinion. ios is more like gaming platform

  • cant you read? THIS IS A TOUCHPAD NOT A PHONE.. seriously...try to read first

  • it's not a phone...it's a table pc.

  • This will be probably sell more than the ipad, HP is a much bigger company, funny how because its the same shape you say its a copy

  • bad phone.there is a lot of no on this phone.

  • Apple lovers are the smartest little pet rocks ever. Get a life, you guys line up to buy a new phone just cause they add a feature call "cut & paste". Damm shows how smart a pet rock is doesn't it.

  • why do you say its not exclusive?

  • nice ipad replica >.> . please come up w/ something made exclusively by you!!

  • It is listed here bcos it is gonna come with 3G capabilities and 3G is a gsm technology...also if ur touch pad is connected to your phone via Bluetooth...u can actually make and receive calls...

  • nice phone

  • 3rd party apps and games for HP OS - almost ZERO. That HP OS (based on Unix) is a nightmare for every sane programmer out there. What a FAILURE... Search for apps and games for Maemo and you'll find only useless & obsolete junk, like those PDA softwares from the end of 2nd millenium. Go for Android or Iphone OS if you want more than surfing the web...

  • extardinary type to view

  • This site is yes, GSM, but I think that this sites administrators knows what to put inside it? No one can never tell what belongs to site if aren't the admin. Like if site stands behind leafs, does it mean it need to handle trees?

  • why not like this hp touchpad it have all i need adobe flash 10 apps games connet to printer and it is like apple's pad

  • Please, this site is GSMARENA and NOT some HP, UNIX, ANDROID, GOOGLE, APPLE Arena. If not GSM, please, remove it as a product, at least in this SITE.

  • #not

  • The TouchPad has a more user friendly OS than the iPad.

  • I does not have a 1230 mAh battery it has a 6300 mAh battery.
