Use HP webOS App Catalog to browse and download any of the many
applications available for your device. App Catalog contains both free
apps and apps you can buy.
NOTE HP webOS App Catalog is periodically updated. Because of this, the
app may offer more functionality and features than those described in this
chapter. For the most up-to-date information on App Catalog, see the on-device
Help.
NOTE Applications you installed on your old Palm OS by ACCESS or Windows
Mobile smartphone do not work on your HP TouchPad because your HP
TouchPad uses the new HP webOS. In addition, some apps developed for HP
webOS smartphones may not work on your HP TouchPad. Check App Catalog
for a new version of your old favorites.
