I regularly down load audio books to my droid, and attempted to do the same on my touch Pad. Immediately after starting the download, I receive the the following error: Cannot open MIME type files.
Does anyone have a workaround for this issue?

Ok, I think this thread needs a little clarification since it is apparent that a lot of people are having this problem.
The Cause:
MIME allows the Web browser to handle file types that are not web pages (audio, video, documents, etc). It does that by using MIME handlers. A MIME handler is a link to a seperate application that is dedicated to that type of content (for example, the Video player installs a MIME handler for Video content). This error occurs when the Web browser tries to access content that does not have a MIME handler (for example, if you try to access a .wmv video. .wmv videos are not supported by the TouchPad Video app and will generate this error).
The Fix:
Find a webOS application (through App Catalog or through Preware) that supports the type of content you are trying to access and install it on your TouchPad.
Note: It is possible that no application exists for the type of content you are trying to access. If that is the case, then you are out of luck.

I get this error message when downloading attached PDF files from Gmail. And I have Adobe Reader installed.
The issue with Gmail attachments is that when downloading them, it does not add the .pdf extension (even though it shows a PDF icon). I use a file manager and just add the .pdf to the filename.
