Unfortunately, the Pre 3 was cancelled along with the TouchPad, so it was figured that gadget collaboration was doomed.
Yesterday was announced an OTA HP webOS update 3.0.4 and one the new features is the ability to pair any phone with the TouchPad
James Kendrick from ZDNet immediately paired his tablet with the iPhone 4S, and he can attest to how well it works. It is particularly useful for Caller ID, it really shines to use the TouchPad as a Caller ID device for the phone, he said.
Once the TouchPad is updated, pairing the phone is easy. Go to the Bluetooth settings and pair the phone as you would any peripheral. Once paired you have the options to make the phone auto-connect in the future, and to accept incoming phone calls on the TouchPad.
That’s all you need to do to get this feature working. Having phone calls appear on the TouchPad works with just about any phone, but receiving text messaging on the tablet depends on the phone’s Bluetooth implementation. This does not work on the iPhone 4S, sadly.
