No HTML email on the Touchpad if using EAS with Hotmail. This is the only device I am aware of with this limitation. Hard to understand the reason for this whether there is some technical reason or if it is simply indifference on the part of the WebOS devs.
There is a workaround:
1. Set up EAS for your Hotmail account as normal. Enable calendar and contacts syncing, but *disable* email sync.
2. Set up a separate POP account for your Hotmail email
This will let you view and send email in HTML *and* keep your calendar and contacts in sync. You will be limited by POP to viewing only your Inbox, and Sent Mail will not be synced back to the server, but I find it to be a workable solution.
Given that HP and Microsoft are partners and that Bing is the default mapping service in WebOS you'd think there would be a bit more synergy with Microsoft's services in WebOS, but now that WebOS is open source I suppose we'll never see this happen.
