If your parents got a new tablet for Christmas, what apps are you installing for them? I realized many of my favorite apps wouldn't be useful for them, but I have installed the following:IMDBFlixter (for watching trailors)SkypeTED (in hopes they watch some education videos)YouTubePandora (or Slacker Radio if your in Canada)FacebookAnd if your on Android, i felt the following widgets would be handy:weather widgetbookmarks widgetgoogle search widgetcalendar widget

Started a discussion: TouchPad webOS Preware Patches Not Working After System Update - Fix http://mitchmckenna.com/post/10695/started-a-discussion-touchpad-webos-preware-patches-not-working-after-system-update-fix

If you've received the latest TouchPad update 3.0.5 and you had any patches installed you might have noticed them not working. They are installed, but unless the package has been updated since the system update, it's not actually doing anything. This has happened in previous system updates. This happens because all the Preware feeds change because they have the version number on the end, the feeds get updated and until the patch maintainer updates the patch to the new feed, the patch doesn't get re-installed.Here's a quick guide to get your patches up and running again if don't want to wait for the patches to get updated by their developers.Open up Preware > Installed Packages > PatchesGo through each of patch and remove it (don't have to restart Luna for each one)Restart and open up Preware > Manage FeedsScroll down to New Feed and add; Name: webos-patches-304 URL: ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-patches/3.0.4When you click back update your feeds, and you should be able to reinstall all your patches again, restart luna.
