Dunno, looks pretty good, Microsoft may buy webOS to avoid other companies obtaining the patents. Microsoft has been rumored to be purchasing webOS patents, leading to what some believe to be a webOS/Microsoft hybrid.

http://www.informationweek.com/byte/commentary/personal-tech/tablets/231600600

This is a good thing because Microsoft wouldn't necessarily have to buy the patents outright. Whitman has already mentioned a "TouchPad 2.0" and I think the TP is deserving of a second chance now more than ever.

Ask yourself. Has HP not been on the ball lately? New Slate. (Which is lovely by the way) New Laptop(s). Press Conferences. Site redesigns...
[TouchPad General] tbaker077:
New slate? The Slate 2 is just a HP Slate 500 with a better gpu, and slower cpu, with the rest of the specs essentially the same(well its using a slightly newer n-trig digitizer, but nothing to make a current 500 upgrade). It has a lot of Slate 500 owner actually bothered that it took HP a year to bring out something that is more of the same, and didn't even wait to use the newer Atom N2800 cpu. Can't really say that a company on the ball, just a company not sure what to do until the consumer reaction to Windows 8 comes out.
[TouchPad General] joenathane:
This stuff is all made up, there is no way Microsoft would be involved in making some "Hybrid" of Windows 8, it's doesn't make any sense, Windows 8 and WebOS are competing platforms, they are not complementary to each other in the least. Also why would it be the Touchpad 3, there has only been one generation of the Touchpad.

Edit: a little bit of Googling reveals that no one else is talking about this, OP is creating his own "news".
[TouchPad General] Pongopuffian:
There has been a 2nd Gen TouchPad, it was the 7-inch TouchPad Go.

[TouchPad General] Pongopuffian:
How much do we really know about Windows 8 being tested on TouchPads?

Nobody ever said anything about that story and it's everywhere.

But that's besides the point: Are you telling me that, when the whole Windows 8 tablet evolution happens, that HP, the biggest PC maker in the world, is not going to make a tablet with Windows 8 on it for consumers?

Now, that would be crazy. It was wise for HP to halt production of the TP1, Windows 8 is right around the corner.

I bet the TP3 is already made.
[TouchPad General] joenathane:
From the data in the image you uploaded it would appear that you just created it in Photoshop and it's a bad Photoshop at that.

Stop trolling.
[TouchPad General] Pongopuffian:
None of that is even the topic at hand lol,

It's part of the whole process when a device is produced, all screen images are simulated. Have you seen a Galaxy Tab commercial lately or a Nokia commercial, or any commercials?? lol

I digress ...

I'd like Windows 8 tablets as is, but integrated webOS sounds like a really good idea, since Microsoft was supposed to have been purchasing the patents anyway.

The question is: Would the TP3 be able to compete with the iPad 3? Of course.

HP would have an excuse to sell it at a high price point. Microsoft gets those patents to save their OS from being a bunch of boring blocks, and suffering the same fate as their Windows phones. So it works for everybody, on the corporate side at least lol!
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
Sure HP may make a Window 8 tablet, but that as nothing to do with WebOS or the TouchPad.
[TouchPad General] Pongopuffian:
I'm patient and for the new tablet, and not shoot it down so quickly.

HP may be deciding how exactly this is supposed to play out. Is it going to be dual boot, is it going to be hybrid, what new features it will have..

They've mentioned the possibility of webOS becoming part of their product line as in computers and tablets, but everything they've said, has all been in support of it, so I like what I see.

Honestly, I'm more excited for this than I am for them continuing webOS just by itself. It's more than profitable for them.

I will keep you informed and I will update you.
[TouchPad General] Krunk_Kracker:
A company is never going to release anything to the market with dual boot. There's to much to go wrong and why would they want to support 2 different OS's?

Please stop making things up.

Tell that to Viewsonic, who already has had a dual boot tablet out for some time now (Windows/Android).

Don't that I'm defending the OP, as I think he live goof. But what you said it just not so, as it has already been done.
[TouchPad General] pflatlyne:
people need to face it. Webos is dead. HP des have their webos that rus under index,and perhps the migtbedumb enough to try to port to windows 8 and ship it with a fighter tablet,bt its still dead. It was dead before HP pulled the plug and diging it back up,brushin he dirt off and propping it up in passenger seat to take a drive in the carpool lane wont change that. The fact is if someone at HP is in denial about it, the longer it goes on,the worse its going to smell.
[TouchPad General] :
:0 What if someone from HP read that? Aren't you in support of the TouchPad? You bought it.

I don't get it, it seems some people are against it- like anti-webos fans or something.

But no matter- it's HP we're talking about. We can expect a tablet.

A WebOS/Windows tablet, that's pretty huge. That'll kick the Kindle Fire out of the water. And the iPad, finally will have some competition.
[TouchPad General] scrizz:
Idc about another device lol. I just recently for the tpad.
[TouchPad General] Joker Fuel:
I think this thread just made me dumber...

Fyi hp has been trying to integrate their own ui/experience for couple years now. So even if they don't integrate palm OS with win OS(which will never happen) they might(or probably will) implement their UI based on webos concept.

Just look at their random dv series laptops, they will initial boot into their GUI
[TouchPad General] pflatlyne:
I agree 100%,HP would be crazy not to try another tablet. I don't think it will be with webOS though. Windows 8 or android are the best bets. Webos MIGHT have worked out if they had waited until they had a finished product to ship and if they had set their sights lower. They tried to make a tablet to compete with the iPad,priced the same as the ipad,but without the app support of either iOS or android. That was a bad move. If you have 500 bucks to drop on a tablet you will probably buy an iPad. To compete in that space you have to be be game changingly superior. Even if webOS had been complete and ready to ship,its just not going to cut it. Its better in some ways but not in others. None of its strengths are anything that can't be copied or compensated for in the next release from its competition. There was a way HP could have won. They could have made a 7" tablet for around 100-150 bucks and a 10" tablet for around 200. They would be based on lower end,but solid well built hardware and sold for very slim profit margins. Such devices sold by a company like HP would fly off the shelves. Hopefully that would get the apps flowing. In other words,don't compete with apple head on,but establish a beachhead. Then,make a high end pad that exceeds the iPad in every way,and sell it at cost. Something they could sell for 50 dollars or so less than the iPad. With the apps and the history and a superior tablet and a mature tablet OS they might lure away some iPad customers.

Hewlett-Packard will today report results for its fourth fiscal quarter and its 2011 fiscal year. All eyes will be on guidance that HP gives for 2012. It must be realistic, but not too low; achievable, so not too high. Whitman has yet to set the table strategically for HP: Does it need more “transformation”? HP — despite its troubles over the last year — remains an attractive investment for patient investors.

Maybe we'll hear something about the TP3..

Wouldn't there have to be a Touchpad 2nd gen before they would make a 3rd generation?
[TouchPad General] :
The 7-inch TouchPad Go was the 2nd Generation TouchPad, whether it was released, or it wasn't released, is..debatable.
[TouchPad General] :
The focus may turn to Windows 8 on the TouchPad.. I heard someone say everything from the TP3 having an illuminated bezel..to no bezel, or both..

A digital pen is likely, but I'm surprised by how thin and light it's supposed to be- half a pound! I'll believe that when I see it.

I wouldn't hold my breath for anything more from HP in the tablet market. They will attempt a Windows 8 Tablet, but not likely to gain much traction. This Article: http://www.appleinsider.com/article...de_tablet_market_to_apple_amazon_in_2012.html

while from an Apple site really does sum up the tablet market in general.

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

HP is such a huge company and the tablet market is such a small part of it, I doubt there will be any mention of the Touchpad or any other Tablet device in the quarterly earnings report. Besides why muddy up what is supposed to be an investor pep talk with the recent memory of a colossal failure.

The focus will be on solving the disk drive supply chain issue and the issues surrounding the Intel Itanium processor. I would be very surprised if the word "Touchpad" or "Tablet" is even uttered in the report.

[TouchPad General] muyoso:
HP lost billions of dollars on webos. Over three billion to be exact. You think they are gonna say, "hey lets try this again"? You must think Meg Whitman reeeeeeaaaaaly wants to lose her job.

And seriously what is there to build on with webos? The pretty cards? Give me a break. They have no ecosystem, they have no app store to speak of. They don't even have a relatively bug free os. They spent a year and couldn't make webos shine even though they controlled both software and hardware. The os is slow and buggy and COMPLETELY unoptimized for the hardware. What possible reason is there for HP to build another one.
[TouchPad General] :
^ You're right. They failed in every category.
[TouchPad General] Adonis K.:

[TouchPad General] sonrah:
HP's probably just going to focus on creating a tablet for Windows 8. The problem with the touchpad was that it was way too expensive given the lack of good software.
[TouchPad General] :
Honestly, if you look at all the tablets- which one is the best one?
[TouchPad General] mshilly:
Dude, you just don't get it... It does not matter what the best tablet is in terms of specs and hardware capabilities! A tablet is only as good as the infrastructure that supports it. That is why Apple dominates the tablet market and Amazon (and to a lesser extent B&N) will continue because they are selling consumers a complete solution to consume content.

There are other markets (non-consumer) like medical that tablet computers have been selling into for some time. Only companies that provide complete solutions can sell into that market cause doctors don't want to have to any IT work.

Tech geeks (like us) will always go for the cool hardware, but compared to the normal consumer market, the geek market is much smaller.

Remember BetaMax lost out to VHS... it didn't matter which was better, the consumer market chose VHS.
[TouchPad General] :
I think the XOOM is a perfect example of what happens when you make a 2nd Gen of something that wasn't too successful.

And look at Acer, they have only 9% market share- but does that mean their tablet is bad? No!

All it would take for them to be successful is to start rolling out updates to the OS like crazy. That would get people talking and having people thinking twice about the TouchPad.

It's still the most attractive and easy to use OS, and it's the most affordable Android tablet.
[TouchPad General] :
webOS is the key to success. We've seen Windows 8 on the TouchPad. People didn't seem too impressed. But the idea of a webOS transformation is what we want. It's really our decision. If we're aggressive for asking for it, we'll get it.

Hit them up on Live Chat. Every TouchPad has one. They may tell you something, but let them know we're interested.

I surely hope this topic hasn't been made... I don't want to be that guy.

Short and sweet... I'm rooted (that MAY not have anything to do with it)

I got this phone launch day... It worked perfectly. Not saying this is the reason why but as soon as the Iphone 4S was released my phone started failing.. Essentially what it does is give me a fast paced busy signal when I try to make a call. Sometimes I have to attempt to make a car 15 times or more. Of course that is annoying but people also get the same signal when they try to call me. Since I'm in sales that is a huge problem.

I called Sprint, the local store. The lady told me that while OG EVOs were having that issue I was the first SII. She said sprint was currently upgrading (and I read stuff in the news to back that up on a national level).

So after receiving no help from the local store I called the 1800 sprint1 stuffola.. They had me go through the whole ##xxxx## stuff. After doing that and it not fixing the problem they suggested I go to a sprint store and have my phone replaced. Now I, don't want to do that. I really don't want someone else’s phone and I just have this thing.. Where I don't want another phone (even though it will be an SII).

Now, I have an airwave at the house and I have absolutely no problem there. Calls come and go as they please. Which makes me feel like it isn't my phone. Is there anything I can do before I go and replace my baby... I really don't feel like going through the whole unrooting process and getting rid of the triangle before I go in there...

I've done PRL updates so that isn't it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Sympl3x:
I am fairly new to android here, just got the SGSII when it came out after being on an iPhone for years. I love the phone and the android system, there is just one thing I haven't been able to get working how I would like.

This is probably the one thing I miss from the iphone is how it kept media organized. There was one music player and one video player and there was no guessing with what formats would work. It either did or didn't. On android it has been WAYYYY more confusing. There are the stock players, and dozens of different ones people recommend to try and I don't seem to like any of them.

Is there anything similar to itunes that can help to manage and maintain all the music and other media on the device? I have an external SD card with a music and videos folder and right now just drag and drop onto there.

Also, most of my music's metadata is all jacked up and it seems like that's how most of the player apps organize everything. I tried to clean it up for several hours one night trying probably half a dozen different metadata programs and finally gave up.

So, does anyone have any help or suggestions as far as programs and apps to get media a little more organized with android?

Thanks

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fstrama:
I have got the problem that sensors turn out my screen after calls start (incoming/outgoing) and it does not activate again when I want to end the call.

I have realized that after a call is started and the phone is moved (e.g. after typing a number, dialling and then move the phone to your ear) that this (or actually any movement) locks the screen.

I have realized that the movement actually activates the 'dial pad' (just as you would press the icon on the screen during a call) but somehow also fully de-activates the screen. You can get the screen activated again only by sliding the hardware keypad out. Then you can press 'x' on the screen to get back to the normal call screen (and then end the call normally).

I have got the 2nd SK17 now and it has got the same issue regardless which firmware I use (branded 4.0.A.2.335 from vodafone, 4.0.A.2.335 Generic or 4.0.2.A.0.58 Generic).

Anyone else got this issue and has got a solution.

heres a guide to turn it off
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fstrama:
Thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated.

However, I am afraid this does not resolve the issue. When applying as described in the guide the screen is de-activated straight after answering a call (without moving the device) and even when sliding the hardware keyboard out and pressing 'x' on the screen (to return to normal call screen) and then close the hardware keyboard again the screen is de-activated straight.

Ending calls now is only possible when the hardware keyboard is slided out.

Before applying as described in the guide at least the screen returned to be active after sliding keypad out, pressing 'x' and sliding keypad back in (and then not moving the device).

Therefore I have reverted back to what is was before for the time being.

Any other thoughts, hints, help.
