E-Mail Access Problem at Local Burger King

The e-mail access/synching problem with my Touchpad via the new free wifi hotspot at a local Burger King still lives from last week... and is also present on my Pre2!

What seems to be happening is that I can connect and surf the web successfully, but any attempt to check my email just goes through the motions and does not actually send or receive any messages.

I haven't encountered this problem scenario -- yet -- at any other wifi hotspots.

Does anyone out there have the technical answer for what's happening here?

No pressure, but the fate of the free world does depend on this being solved.

TouchPad Touchstone Charger - First Impressions

I received the Touchstone charger for my TouchPad yesterday via FedEx.

First impressions...

- Overall... Looks like a good investment (putting aside for the moment that HP really should be including a free Touchstone with every WebOS device)

- Size and Stability... My concerns, based on what I had seen in pictures and videos, were greatly reduced when I got the unit in my hands. It still appears to be on the smallish side, but it seems to hold the TouchPad securely and stabily.

- It works correctly.  Can't ask for more than that. (...well, it should be bundled for free with the purchase of the TouchPad!)

E-Mail Account Synching

The past couple of mornings at my breakfast hangout, I've experienced some problems with my e-mail synching correctly between my Pre2, TouchPad and GMail. Then, later in the day at various other locales, all is well... Hhhmmm.

A little bit of playing around with my devices is leading me to point a finger more at the new, free wifi service at my local Burger King than at the TouchPad. It appears that the hotspot isn't fully "acknowledging' the acceptance of their TOS screen, then not letting the mail app do a "proper" synch with GMail. It "goes through the motions", but no synch actually takes place.

Let's see what happens with this in the longer term...
