Help
I visited BestBuy this afternoon and played with the HP TouchPad for about 30 minutes. I was able to log into BBO, kibitz at a table, view the bidding and play at that table, send a message to the kibitzers (which got me booted from the table and BBO), and send a private message/mail to Fred.
I noticed that the ad banner on the left side of the screen was not present. In addition when kibitzing a table I was unable to access the "tabs" that appear on the right side of the screen showing Friends, Results, etc.
I did not play so I don't know what support, if any, exists for that function.
Performance was acceptable: not super fast but no obvious lagging.
That's it.

BBO seems to work on HP Touchpad with some exceptions

Are you saying that sending a message to Kibitzers disconnected you from BBO? Were you able to talk to the other players at the table, or to the table with no problem? Thanks for the information, we'll investigate.

Hi Jacki:
Yes that's what happened. I believe the match was a high visibility event (there were more than 100 kibitzers) and my comment was unrelated to the match itself.
Please don't pursue this. If in fact I was booted for my comment (and it's not clear that I was), my comment was out of line.
Wait... sending the message to all kibitzers did not automatically disconnect me. I got the sense that someone gave me the boot for my poor manners.

I finally did a search of the forums...
I know this is an old thread but I am excited to report (mostly because I couldn't believe it actually worked) that one can indeed access and play using the BBO website interface on an HP Touchpad. I am not sure if that has always been the case and I was mistakenly under the impression one couldn't, or if the more recent updates to the WebOS software made it possible, but it is possible.
The cards are almost too small to play by tapping (especially with my porky fingers) but I played 2 hands, chatted, reviewed the previous hands, etc. and didn't find any part of the interface that I couldn't interact with. Needless to say, I am pumped..lol.

Is it any easier if you switch to hand diagram mode?
