    Turning off the logging improves response too. Can't remember where I discovered thay tip, but IIRC it was left enabled to gather debug information.

    Re: Long live webOS?

    I'm using CM7 on my TP at the moment. I did like webOS generally, but the lack of apps and the poor web browser (no background page loading) were putting me off. If they get android apps working an a card, I'd go back in a heartbeat!

    How are you getting on with CM7?
    Are you dual booting?

    Occasional crash, force close or wifi drop, but otherwise fully functional. Would strongly recommend it.

    Dual booting works great, but I don't ever find myself needing to switch to webOS.

    Re: Long live webOS?

    I find a total wipe out would be too extreme for me.

    I will now def be considering dual booting.

    Re: Long live webOS?

    Is there still the app store available on CM7 ? it would be a bit of a show stopper for me. For mail / browsing / skype / videos I'm getting on really well with webos.

    This. Works really well, can't see me wanting to put android on it anytime soon, but depends whether the developer base continues to support it.

    HP are getting a bit like the reluctant bride in this: will they? won't they, they are, they aren't...

    There's a thread over at precentral - http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touc...ted-guide.html and it's included in that. Unfortunately, it's far down the list, after the "scary" PC-based OS upgrade (I used the over-the-air one which was a LOT easier).

    HP decided to have your touchpad log and report a -lot- of unnecessary things, so many that it actually has a physical effect on your touchpad's speed and functionality. Since you probably don't want HP listening in to everything your doing even if it wasn't a performance boost, lets go ahead and turn this logging off.

    Go into your settings tab, tap on device info. On the top left there is a device info tab. Tap that and hit custom application. In the box that pops up, type:

    ##logs#

    Now you'll be able to properly turn logging off (turn it to minimal). It will warn you that this is irreversible and say something about not wanting to open the pod bay doors, just tell it to do what you say or you'll rip it's battery out and lets move on! Thanks to Bevcraw for cluing me into this easy method.
    And 'er indoors (it's her TouchPad) confirms that the 3.0.4 upgrade does make the TP run smoother.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    Think all this means is that they'll be sticking Windows 8 on all future touchpads/tablets.
