In my previous blog post, I tried to explain some of the concerns raised by early reviewers. I'm happy to see that other people have reported what I explained. James Kendrick says: "Some speculate that the crashing reported by reviewers was likely due to the way webOS Synergy does a lot of background syncing with social networks. I don’t know if that is the case, but my experience with the TouchPad has been completely different after day one with the tablet, and it is a good difference." It is not speculation. I know. TouchPad didn't handle the first hour of sync, logging in, indexing, and other admisinstrative task well while reviewers were pushing the performance tests at the same time. But after things settle, TouchPad performs much better. And now the new update addresses also some of these concerns.
In our first OTA update, we have made several performance improvements, added functionality, fixed errors, and generally improved webOS. My team is working hard. We keep on improving webOS, work on the next software and hardware releases, and work closely with developers and partners. I do not have any news on timing yet. I know never fast enough for some of you. But as you can see, they keep on coming. And, by the way, thank you for your comments. They are helpful.
