Your HP TouchPad

NOTE When referring to the company that makes your HP TouchPad, this document uses both the terms HP and Palm. HP and Palm are the same company; the use of both terms reflects company terminology.

In one compact and indispensable device, you now have all of the following:

•An advanced wireless device running the HP webOS platform

•A large 9.7 inch (246.3mm) screen for easy, full-color viewing of photos and videos, web pages, email messages, and more

•A full suite of organizer applications, including Contacts, Calendar, and Memos

•Wi-Fi capability

•A front-facing camera for video calling

•GPS functionality

•Applications to view and manage Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF files

•HP webOS App Catalog, from which you can download applications designed for your device; select from an ever-expanding list of applications

•Seamless interoperability with many HP webOS smartphones, including call management directly from your HP TouchPad.

Your HP TouchPad puts HP webOS—a multitasking, gesture-based operating system—inside a thin, beautiful device with a virtual keyboard that you can bring up whenever you need it. Here are a few highlights of your new device.

Gestures: On your HP TouchPad, you move around and manage your applications and info by making simple gestures on the touchscreen. For more information, see Use gestures: Tap, swipe, drag, flick, pinch. Carry the Navigation Guide (included in the box with your HP TouchPad) around with you and you’ll soon know the most important gestures by heart.

Multitasking: You can have many applications open at once and easily move among them. Go to the Launcher to open apps. See the lineup of your open apps in Card view. Tap an app to bring it into the foreground and work with it. For more information, see Open applications.

Just Type: Need to look up Ed’s work number? Just go to Card view, tap Just type, and type ed. If he’s listed in your Contacts, you can get his numbers from the search results. Just Type works just as fast when you need to search the web, find info in an application on your device, start an action such as creating an email message or memo, or update your status on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter. For more information, see Just Type.

The HP Synergy feature: The HP Synergy feature works in the background to gather your information from the various online sources where you keep it and then display that information in a single view on your device. You can access your info quickly without having to remember where you stored it.
