You dont need an app for that

Some of the reason why you don't need a lot of apps on the HP TouchPad.

I just went to the same website (bmwusa) on my Ipad 2 clicked "full site" and bam it loaded up and worked fine....

I then went on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and clicked on BMWUSA then pressed full site again and it loaded up just fine.

Oh and the same on my Palm Pre 2....

Then you purposely find a website with a specific feature which doesn't work for the Ipad and go on that and "oh look it doesn't work". I OS devices are so popular now that many websites are tailor made to work with them...

@boxrick1 C'mon! Be honest here. You click on the "Full site" and bam it loaded up and worked fine on the iPad??? You actually get this message "This page requires flash player" when you goto the full website on the iPad.

@asaseaban that is true I have an Ipad2 here and it cannot view flash content at any site, good thing this stuff is fast and lots of app.

Yeah dude I was gonna say agree with you about BMW website, but it does work on iPad 2 now...but then again your video is uploaded July, and I am running Beta 6 iOS 5....unless Apple snuck a bit of flash in there LOL...still iPad does suck shit when others are able to go on the site and it works without having so many apps to access the same shit...

@keithTfulcher I know, plus hulu regular works on the touch pad so you don't have to pay the 8 bucks a month for hulu plus that it charges on the ipad

@ecush20 brighter doesn't mean better. That is like saying LED are better than Plasmas because they are brighter. That is not true!  I prefer Plasma's because they are faster and show richer colors! You just stated an opinion of yours. Doesn't mean it is better!

I agree.... There is no reason for 10000 apps. Almost everything looks great on the browser. Create shortcuts/bookmarks and it is just as quick. Webpages (original) is always better than an app.

@asaseaban The BMWUSA website works fine on the iPad 2. You have to tap on Full Site and it loads fine. Am running iPad 2 with iOS 5 beta 2.

Any website that contains Flash elements, you can use an app called iSwifter for iPad to view it.

[kingvelez1]

I prefer using an app. The app loads quicker and sometimes contains UI elements not possible on a traditional website.

too bad the ipads screen is so much brighter than the touchpad :/
