Since I updated my HP Touchpad to 3.0.4 last week I have notice some improvements but also a few changes for the worse.
I can now use any of my phones via bluetooth and there is a video camera which is nice. However, battery life seemed to fall off a cliff. Charging before bedtime, I awoke to find that even with wifi and bluetooth off that the battery meter was on 48%. A quick google suggested that the meter itself needed recalibration. I let the Touchpad run down until it switched off, then gave it a full charge via the sync cable (not Touchstone) it seems to have done the trick.
Charging via the Touchstone itself have become a bit hit and miss too. Fine out of the case, nothing whilst my Touchpad has it’s Belkin iPad case on. Apparently the latest update has reduced the power of the internal charging coils, the extra padding on the case is proving too much to get through.
Don’t get me started on the super efficient autocorrect! My smelling mistakes have doubled as the autocorrect kicks in whilst typing each word, and I have to double check everything as I go along, aaargh!
No doubt solutions and patches will come through the grapevine pretty quickly, so for now, I will put up with it all. But it would be nice if both WordPress and Picsel SmartOffice actually worked properly on the Touchpad. Evernote would have been nice too, but they have abandoned webos it seems.
