HP WebOS Touchpad and streaming FLAC!

[sleepysurf]

Just got the HP (formerly Palm) Touchpad, running WebOS. Still a bit buggy, but HP promises regular over-the-air updates/fixes by months end. One of the (free!) apps I installed is AudiophileHD Player, which plays a variety of file types including FLAC! The Touchpad has "Beats Audio" technology, and sounds surprisingly good through the default speakers, and better yet with quality headphones. Check out the turntable graphic (it actually spins and tonearm tracks inward as song/album plays)!

There is also an upgraded Squeezebox Controller app available, but I'm happy using the smaller version on my Palm Pre.

BUT, does it play them from your Squeezebox server?

No, but that's what my stereo is for!

Actually, it'll be nice to copy 50-60 of my favorite FLAC tracks to the Touchpad, for playback when I don't have Wi-Fi access to Pandora. Perhaps somebody will now develop a Spotify App for WebOS (as it is just rolling out here stateside).

I love my Xoom!
