So, HP is fluctuating “Touchstone” to meant more than “which complicated, slanted magnet thing which my Pre always slips off of.” For starters, the TouchPad has a Touchstone charging dock — it’s not magnetic, though during least you don’t have to worry about plugging the thing in, as well as it’s quite suited to operative with a set of keys. But that’s not the real sorcery. HP has enabled the three brand new webOS inclination (The TouchPad, Veer, as well as Pre 3) to promulgate over Touchstone regulating “Touch-to-share” tech. You simply place your phone on tip of the TouchPad, as with pictures, as well as whatever you’re viewing upon a phone pops up in the tablet’s browser. We’re not certain how this works bi-directionally, but HP mentions both scenarios, so hopefully it shouldn’t be which difficult to configure the URL to come from a inscription and land upon the phone. The two devices have to be upon the same webOS account, however, so don’t get any crazy ideas about pity URLs with friends. Naturally, there should be the lot more “Continuous Client”-style uses for this tech in a future, though we’d say URL pulling is a good start. Finally, a old-fashioned Touchstone is starting to work with a Veer as well as Pre 3, that will right away be sent into an “Exhibition” mode when docked. The mode allows a phone to monitor photos or arriving appointments, depending upon a user’s particular level of sentimentality.
