If that doesn't work, buy an iPad.
Begin with the keyboard. Your / key is putting out ?’s.
Congrats! I too got in on the amazing “firesale”..this thing is a GEM! Unfortunately as of right now,however, you can only read documents on that software..but I’m pretty sure there is 1) a 3rd party app in the app store that allows you to do that and 2) and update allowing for editing/creation of word docs coming soon for that program.
One of the misnomers about HP throughout all of this is that they are completely dropping any support or updates of WebOS..this completely untrue. I am LOVING this platform after just one week!
Also..be sure to sign up on the palm forum for more tips,tricks, apps, and advice you can ever handle...out of the box there is already a super easy way to make the pad run much smoother and faster...
Is there an App download for AP? I don’t know how you’d get a program on a tablet without an APP. You probably have to sign up for it
Ignore the “Buy an iPad” goofs.
You should google for an answer but on my iPad, I use Google docs.
It works well enough.
I'm new to the TouchPad, too, and those guys seem to have all the answers.
Dataviz makes office like apps for the iPad . Check their web site they may now offer for your your type of device.
This could be a job for ShadowAce and his TechPing List. So here we go. Sit back and watch.
There are reasons why HP, with all it’s marketing muscle, couldn’t convince anyone to buy the Touchpad, and ended up dumping them for cheap. One of the biggest is their choice of WebOS, which you now own the last version of. The lack of developer support made it impossible for HP to compete, and there will now be no more support for the product or any developers working on new apps for it. I wish you luck in finding a use for it, but suspect you’ll be pretty much limited to what’s on the market today.
If you’re not a techie it may not help, but there are web forums and support groups for nearly every piece of obsolete hardware ever made, and enthusiasts who will share info and try to develop new apps.
bump for when I receive mine
Most touchpad people use Google docs for document editing, which works great.
I hate to say this, but the HP Touchpad is worth less than you paid for it. Its a relic already and HP has abandoned it. If you wanted a tablet, you should have gotten an iPad. Its the only viable tablet. Even the Android tablets are paperweights until someone comes up with something for them to do. I have been researching this for months for my work in business development for an IT company.
Actually Quick Office should already be updated or will be this week. The update will allow document editing.

My touchpad is supposed to arrive tomorrow but I just got called that I need to go out of town for work tomorrow morning so I won’t be able to get it until Wed. :(
