Touch to Share

What is Touch to Share?

Touch to Share lets you easily transfer web pages between your HP Pre3 and an HP webOS tablet. If you have a web page open on your HP Pre3 or on a webOS tablet, simply touch the devices to transfer the page from one device to the other.

What's more, if you have a webOS tablet that shares an HP webOS Account with your smartphone, you can use Touch to Share to pair it with your smartphone, allowing you to transfer text messages and phone calls between your smartphone and your tablet. If you receive a phone call or text message, it'll appear on your smartphone and your tablet, and if you want to make a phone call or send a text message, you can do that from your smartphone or your tablet.

If your smartphone and webOS tablet do not share an HP webOS Account, you can still pair them and transfer text messages and phone calls between the two devices (see Make a pairing request to another device).

Pair with an HP webOS tablet using Touch to Share
