For more information and links please click the "More Info" button

Through the sales of the TouchPad there are a lot of new webOS users being exposed to our wondrous platform. If you've been following the news, blogs and even this site you may have noticed there's a lot of buzz regarding homebrew on the TouchPad. One of the marvelous things about webOS is that, unlike iOS and Android, adding custom software and tweaking the performance is incredibly easy. Unlike the aforementioned platforms there's no need for complicated "rooting" or "Jailbreaking" of a webOS device to enable homebrew functionality. Between the wonderful folks at WebOS Internals and Jason Robitaille they have come up with a powerful 1-2 punch that makes it easier and more convenient to tweak the performance of your device than any other platform. I'm talking about webOS Quick Installer and Preware. We are going to walk you through unlocking the hidden potential of your TouchPad two ways: with step-by-step instructions and with a video tutorial. Let's roll up our sleeves and get started

Very happy you used the konami code Gary. Also, this looks lovely on my TouchPad.

@snotball007 As a child of the 80's it's the only way to go! Gotta respect nerds who are willing to go that far in their code!

dont know if this was mentioned before or not, but to reduce loggings, you do not need to pair it with a phone. You can use skype to dial that code. I know this because i did it on my friends touchpad to reduce his loggin and he didnt have a webos phone/
