Anyone want a Pre3 in exchange for a Touchpad?
I think Box.net had no such limits if you signed up through the app on the TP itself. I did sign up but am not using it - I switched to petandrive.com, 1 mil GB free
although they are only starting and have a few issues. 0 -

Sorry! In my excitement I realise that I didn't give any details!!
Its a media and desktop streamer. Connects up to your computer via WiFi and gives you full control. Your desktop will appear on the touchpad and you can do what ever you like.
Once your computer is connected to the internet you can access its content anywhere you are as long as the touchpad is connected to WiFi.
It really is an amazing app.0 -

What's the story with the CM Android port? Is there an RC or stable version yet?
Ben
Yip, I'm using it just installed it, seem to be working fine, doubt i'll every boot into web OS again, WIFI, SOUND, Charging, Android Market, all working and the touch screen is way more responsive no more cursing and prodding the screen. I installed Alpha Build 2, can't seem to fault it yet.
I just followed these instructions, http://liliputing.com/2011/10/how-to-install-google-android-on-the-hp-touchpad-with-cyanogenmod7.html
Got stuck on one part and then I was fine. If your installing it you'll probably get stuck in the same place.
**********From Instructions*************
Click on the Start Menu.
Type “cmd” (without quotes) into the search box.
A terminal window should open up — but you’re in the wrong directory.
Type “cd c:\” and press enter to get to your root directory.
To navigate to the correct directory, type “dir” and press enter to see a list of directories.
On my computer, I next typed “cd Program Files” and hit enter, then “cd Palm, Inc” and hit enter again.
*************************************
All the above is correct until you get to the last line where it says "cd Palm, Inc" if you download the latest sdk it's actually called "cd HP webOS" HP must have changed the name since the article was last updated. So where I ran novacom from SDK\BIN directory, make sure you put the ACME installer in the same folder as novacom.exe which lies in the HP webOS\SDK\BIN folder, this makes no sense right now but refer to it when you get stuck other than that it's a simple installation and you don't need to be a tech head to do it. Total install time about 30minutes between downloading the right files and booting into android. Would highly recommend anyone with a touch pad do it.:):):):):)Yay HP Touch Droid, finally:):):):):) 0 -
Update on Alpha 2 Android.
Only found one glitch with the new Android on it, When I woke up this morning I had to disconnect the wifi and reconnect it again before it would load a web page, I had to do the same with web os, it's not a biggy. One other thing the power button doesn't lock the touchpad it mearly sends the screen to sleep so if you touch the screen it re-awakens straight away, i'm sure it could be cured but just putting a lock on the screen, besides that i'm delighted with it. Everything is working better under android. Time to scrap web os and make the upgrade.
