I was lucky enough to get one from Harvey Norman during there fire sale. But can't find much in the way of Astor apps. Anyone else have one a know of any developers making Astor software for the touchpad.

From the HP website:

Apps? Thousands now. Bazillions on the way.

Hmmm... on WebOS? Probably not I'm sad to say, but there were a few developed for Palm so maybe some were ported and will work on that device.

Not having any experience with them I', definitely not the one to ask. Then again, I believe that HTC was rummaging around the bargain bin at HP looking to pick WebOS up for a song the other day. Maybe one day Fahim...

Here's the only one I could find. Not much, but hey!

Chris, I like WebOS but the lack of Appz is a concern, I have CM7 gingerbread running on HTC hd2 and I am hopping that they will soon have a release canditate for the touchpad, i think they are almost 70% there now. But I also wan to dual boot WebOS because I think its has pottential, i just hope its not sidelined.

I know Astromist have a Palm version but they have not developed one for the WebOS platform yet. Not sure if they will now.

Also I have found SkyOrb. This one seems to be the only one that comes close to a planaterium right now.

Hi,
the CyanogenMod crew have already posted a few videos with the TouchPad running Android.
Sound seems to be a bit flakey at the moment, and so far they make use of only one core - but Wifi and other stuff (including the Touchscreen, of course) is already working pretty good.
There's a video on a german website - golem.de - just search for 'TouchPad'
Regards,

Steffen
