webOS Pivot September issue now available; Always Learning 36
Another edition of webOS Pivot, the exclusive App Catalog Magazine for the HP TouchPad, has been pushed out to devices on schedule this week. In this September issue of the magazine, the Pivot team takes a look at education, learning and the information superhighway (the internet) and how your TouchPad can get you connected with it.
As is usually the case with Pivot, this edition will give you a list of books to check out in the Amazon Kindle app to get your fall reading list set. You'll also see 23 total apps shared over 42 pages that cover a multitude of activities and interests. No matter what type of life you live, Pivot will have you covered with finding at least a couple of apps that you will want to download. Whether you're a student who needs to get Study Buddy HD or Pix for your homework, an amateur chemist who likes to have the Periodic Table on hand at all times, or if you just need to watch you caffeine intake to be sure you don't suffer from the affects described in Death By Caffeine HD.
Check out webOS Pivot on the HP TouchPad right now by launching the App Catalog and waiting for it to download in the background. Then let us know in the comments; what apps did you download from this issue?

In Pivot Audiophile HD is free with a code, but I can't it to work.
me either
I just got my Touchpad last week (no drama, it was from a hustler), and so I'm new to this feature on the Touchpad. Yes, it feels a bit like an in-flight magazine but it's very polished. I hope it lasts.
While it's nice to know that HP is continuing to publish this magazine for the TouchPad; is there anything, anything at all, addressing the hot mess that they've made of things recently?
the first page talks about the announcement regarding hardware and that they are continuing to work on the OS.
Too late, i sold my last touchpad, the one i was actually using. Someone offered me 300. Couldn't turn that down. I was probably days away from getting cracks along the speakers anyway.
Oh well, not like i was really using it. I have a much better ipad.
Is it worth 99? Very much so. 300? No way...
the code for Audiophile in Pivot is actually for audubon birds.
the audiophile code is in a post in the precentral.net forums
:-)
I have been connected for over an hour and still have not gotten the September edition. Will leave it up all night see in the morning...
Me too.
Still have the august edition
I think if you turn it to Portrait view it should download in less then a minute....it did for me anyway.
Luckily the AudiophileHDPro code was the last thing that I copied on my Touchpad here... Got it off the HP website...

There you go, everyone! Enjoy!
Thanks- but gives a message that it reached its limit and no longer valid.
Already all used up... :-(
And the original code did not work(tried it 50 times at 3am in the morning). Now at 11pm the new code is all used up. :-(
I can never manage to get a free app, all the codes always reach their limit. I wish they could do it like amazon app, free all day.
from what I have read, the amazon free apps don't pay the devs, HP is still paying the devs their normal share of retail price....
Hey I like that they were taking about Skrillex and his music!! Way to stay up on pop culture!
Yeah Im 54 and I like Skrillex!! (thanks to my son!)
Finally we get to see something other than people flailing around in the sand. I was afraid we would have to see that from now on after the HP announcement.
Okay, I know this is the Greater Cincinnati area, But I only got the Aug issue.
I guess we are T00 Conservative here.
Seriously, is HP sending out different versions for Different Locations.
I would love the know the link, so I could check it out on my computer.
Guess we will have to wait for the "webOS over Windows" version to come out.
Cool as HP
might actually have to shutdown to get the update to load, that's what I had to do for august (go to device information, scroll down to reset options, I had to actually shut down, then start over rather than hitting the reset key)
I think the download takes place when you view your app catalog in portrait mode.
Downloads in landscape too. What is essential is to have the App Catalog open so that the download takes place.
For those of us not in the USA things are a bit behind. In Ireland we're still stuck with July's issue.... You boys and girls don't realise how good you have it! With your promo codes and all that!
Mine still in July issue too...
+1.
Seems the Europeans are treated differently. That's why we do not get refunds, coupon codes and Pivot updates.
On the flip side: I do have a Pre3 and i love it! :-)
I think the lack of refunds is because of certain consumer laws in the UN, coupon codes because each country outside of the us and sometimes canada has complex contest rules and laws. Not sure why ur not getting the pivot update tho :/ no real legitamate legal reason for that maybe hp is just lazy.
Hi guys. I'm a french webOS enthusiast and, while it's true that we still have yet to see an App Catalog promo code hitting french Touchpad owners, I received the Pivot update today. In order to receive it, it is REQUIRED that the App Catalog is open and running, so that it can download Pivot. Just leave it open, switch do some other apps and when you get back to the App Catalog, the September issue of Pivot should hopefully wait for you to browse.
Yep I figured that out myself yesterday and got the update. I really like Pivot - it's a great touch. Also, those of us in the UK and Ireland(and Canada) got some free promo codes so at least we're on their radar!!!
That dude is on here all the time firing out the deals. Good on him. :-)
I really enjoy the pivot updates.
I'm really digging Pivot too. I have a question though: Is there a way to go back and re-read previous editions? I didn't finish July before the August update. Also, anyone know of a way to save them locally to the TP?
you can take a screen shot picture of each page by pushing home and power button at the same time then releasing. Like the ipad/ipod
Thanks for the tip! That would certainly work, but ideally I'd like to keep the document in tact with working links. I think they would be wise to offer each episode as an app, or just have an option on the featured section of the app catalog to view a specific month. I mean, it's basically a long advertisement for the ecosystem and it could only help people discover new content if they could go back and check out previous editions.
Hi
I'm based in Ireland with my touchpad with no updates for pivot. My pivot still shows July.
What's going on?
read Hubs and my post above. Do as he says and it will come....
I never had a chance to read Issue 2. Any idea how I can go back and see that?
