HP TouchPad / WebOS: The 28 Day Experiment – Day 5
Well, I’m back on the WordPress app in WebOS and even using the on screen keyboard to write this post, I can’t say its the fastest way to write a post, but it is doable. Spell check is very helpful in some cases and maybe too helpful in others. I would try to write like this all the time. That wireless keyboard can really be handy.
If you read day 2 – Saving Draft Now!
Okay, that didn’t work like I thought. When I selected Save Draft, I expected it to just save and allow me to keep going. Instead it saved it and closed out the post. Not very helpful if you are saving your document on a regular basis.
When typing using the screen keyboard, its really hard to see the screen. I find myself watching the keyboard and not the screen.
Another drawback is that every touch means something gets typed. It takes a bit of getting use to. You kind of have to hover your fingers over the keys. That would get a bit much for a long document. That being said, I am still going on the screen keyboard.
HP TouchPad / WebOS: The 28 Day Experiment – Day 2
This is the second time I have written this blog post. The first time I used the WordPress App on the TouchPad to write the entire article. Just before I was ready to post it, I tried to add one more screen shot. The process hung for about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, I never saved the post as a draft (something I will do from this point on!) and so when I closed it, the post was gone. Gone forever. Bummer. Huge WebOS fail. I am still running the 3.0.0 software so maybe the update will fix it. I will have to try again another time.
The WordPress App looks good from the start. It gives you a way to connect to multiple WordPress Accounts and perform basic maintenance. It makes available things like Comments, Posts, Pages and Stats for each site. From the Posts option, you can select Add New and create a new entry. It looks something like this…from the first time I tried this!
Besides the first failed attempt, the post was easy to write with the external keyboard. I wouldn’t be really excited about trying to write a full post on with the on board keyboard, but it could be done.
