Don't know if this has been asked yet but is there an app out there that can record and play videos using the web cam?

Is anyone else having trouble with their chargers? My father in law came over yesterday saying his charger wasn't charging or his pad was broken. He used my charger to find that it was indeed just his charger that was not working. I went to charge ours last night and now ours isn't charging either.
Beat me to it! Hey, has anyone been able top find that Camera for Touchpad app? I can never locate it on the marketplace, in search, even searching by developer.. what gives?
The charger can sort of 'unscrew' itself a little bit, try checking to make sure that it is not loose, as though ti were 'unscrewed'.. sorry I can't think of a better word for it, but you will understand when you mess with it a little.. Hopefully that is all it is.
I hope my touchpad gets here before this thread and threads on precentral get too big... Order Date/Time: 08/25/2011 10:28:20 AM Estimated Ship Date: 08/23/2011 Estimated Delivery Date: 08/23/2011 whatever the **** these mean, sigh, I ordered Sunday morning
LOL... their order system is really advanced, it shipped to you two days before you ordered, and their shipping is same day. I am patiently waiting for mine to arrive (it arrived in Houston Friday afternoon, and is supposed to be delivered today). I would have liked the multi-tasking app that was in the August free app offer, but none of the freebiews in this month seem that important to me, so I am not sweating missing out on the offer since it is likely they will be all gone by the time my arrives and gets juiced up.
They're gone dude. Gone. You can check the ebays and other sites to see if other people are selling their cheaply gained Touchpads.
it came up in app catalog using search term Camera for Touchpad Mae, did yall try unscrewing the two pieces of the charger and putting them back together? I haven't had this problem with mine, but I read on precentral that is how to do it. if that doesn't work, it may be defective. Also, and I know this sounds stupid to ask, but are you sure it is firmly seated in the touchpad USB plugin? It can be deceiving especially when using a case.
I unscrewed and screwed it back on. I also know it is plugged into a working outlet. And yes, I believe it is deeply and firmly seated.
that's not true HP claims they still have some in the warehouse and they will be shipping them out to retailers who want them or just keep an eye out on HP's small business site.
heads up for those waiting on document editing. the promised Quickoffice update is LIVE we can now open,edit and save office documents http://www.precentral.net/quickoffice-hd-document-editing-now-your-hp-touchpad-1 open software manager and click update at the bottom
uh, I envy you... I decided to give them a call to verify my order, only to be met with a great wall of 'average wait time 36 minutes'... screw it, patience is a virtue right? I suppose I can get reading on this while waiting for the TP to arrive.
Rumors that Samsung wants to acquire WebOS from HP, but HP is saying they'd rather just spin off a separate company. Eeeeeentrestin'.
Hey, in case any of you guys encounter this: the Touchpad froze up, would not turn on, after having worked fine all afternoon. Wouldn't come on, nothing worked, not even plugging into the PC. Just the light flashing twise over and over. Found the way to trigger a restart, which cleared it right up. Hold down the power button and the center button at the same time, for about 15 seconds, until the HP logo appears in the middle of the screen. Problem solved. Just FYI
^^ To add to that, the Touchpad works like a lot of mobile devices when it comes to screenshots too. Press the Power button and the center/Home button together and it'll take a screenshot and save it in your photos.
