The smartphone app got a UI change up.
Pretty sure my Touchpad got updated to the latest version, no UI changes as far as I can tell. but I was noticing a lot of "This program is not responding. Would you like to close? [Wait] {whatever the middle option is} [OK] messages.

I just had the same problem Monroeski had. Wouldn't wake from sleep no matter what I tried.
Eventually a long hold of Home+Power allowed me to reboot.

I'm trying to get my Touchpad to recognize connection to my Canon 60D camera.
Do I need to do something special for that to happen? Simply connecting them via USB isn't working and I already tried both of these options...
Edit: this sounds like a grand hassle

Does Twitch or Flash streaming play any better in ICS, or is it about the same as WebOS? Kind of disappointed in how poorly WebOS handles Twitch.
Did you do anything special to wipe your personal data?
That's kind of been what I'm assuming. Not going to list mine till this weekend, so if this is a mistake and a I need to wipe things better, hopefully somebody will quote with relevant directions.

I barely use mine, but I won't sell it because it was a pain in the ass to get and it still comes in handy from time to time.

I use mine all the fricken time; Browser, Google Drive, Youtube, Facebook, Email, Videos (MX Player), Music, eBooks, remote desktop (2X Client), online radio, location-based services, etc.
Yeah, best 99 bucks ever spent.
Since I don't have a smartphone (Android or iOS) though; having access to these apps on the tablet is a big boon. If I had a good phone then I probably wouldn't use the Touchpad as much.

I usually just use it during lunch at work and at home when I remember that I own it, lol, I usually find myself using my iPhone 4 just because its always in my pocket, but then I go "why am I not doing this in the touchpad"
Anyway, im happy with my purchase.
I use mine before I go to bed for web browsing and games (I use the app Datasync for game saves between my Nexus and the touchpad). Also I used it a ton for Netflix when my friend had an account. I understand the convenience and why people say they don't need their laptops and just an iPad. If you didn't care about MSFT office or STEAM, having a strong tablet and a comfortable keyboard is all you need
There is a Twitch app on Android that works perfectly in ICS for me.

I've only ever used the stock Android browser... am I missing out?
Yup, Dolphin > Stock > Chrome on the Touchpad imo. It's definitely worth a go for anyone who hasn't tried it yet.

battery drain stuff fixed?
Metalmurphy

It's improved, but it still drains faster then webos.

I still use mine a lot for browsing and streaming fighting game stuff.
Mine is dual boot, but I end up using webos more often because the battery drain is way less and it can keep in sleep mode.
Was thinking about selling it and getting a nexus7, but idk. It is kinda heavy.

That's great! When did they get the microphone working? Or is that new too?
...
I installed Dolphin browser, question: can I disable/hide the button that's permanently displayed in the bottom-left corner? It blocks the NeoGAF logo when I'm at the end of a page in a thread (mobile forum), which I frequently use to access the main forum page. I looked through the settings but couldn't find a way to hide it. Kind of stupid design decesion if you ask me to have a permanent UI element that's superimposed inside the frame of the web page.

I seem to always end up back on the stock browser because of the awesome quick-thumb controls
Mic has been working for a few months now.

I wonder if they'll ever really get CM10 working on TP. Realistically if they are stuck on kernel 2.6.35, Project Butter won't do a whole lot for the TP, since it works at the kernel and governor level to improve how Android performs.

Pretty sure there are some JB mods that work on the touchpad already.
Here is the latest preview that has the working camera: http://goo.im/devs/Dorregaray/cm-9-20120926-UNOFFICIAL-cam-preview3-tenderloin.zip
Hmm. Maybe I'll keep it a little longer. Especially until I'm sure the mini Ipad actually has an IPS screen. Some of those rumors are a little unsettling. And a tablet is the one place where I will refuse anything other than IPS (although I will defend my TN 120hz monitor till the end).
Yeah. It's been working and working great. Even the voice search works amazing well (which is not for everyone, but has its place when you're feeling lazy and not in public).

I use my touchpad all the time. If I ever find a keyboard for it I'm done using a PC for a lot of things.

Just noticed a speaker crack, doh...
Mines been cracked all the way with a smaller crack on the other speaker. It doesn't affect the sound so I'm not bothering with sending it back to HP. For a product that originally cost $500, the build quality is pretty garbage though.

Which of the circled apps, if any, can be deleted without negative side effects?
Metalmurphy
Member
Camera, Local, Google+, Clock (if you don't want alarms), Messenger, Movie studio, Navigation, Search, Talk and Voice Dialer
Use Link2SD to uninstall system apps.
You can probably delete email too if you don't really want to receive mails.
