Palm Pre update inbound

From WebOS 1.1.3 to 1.3.1

Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider

The Pre smartphone will be refreshed with an updated webOS “within the next few days”, manufacturer Palm has promised.

Palm Pré

A Pré update is due within days

Customers of Telefonica – that’s O2 to you and me – in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain will be automatically updated from WebOS 1.1.3 to version 1.3.1 when within range of a Wi-Fi or 3G signal. No action is required on the user’s part, Palm stressed.

Released in North America earlier this month, webOS 1.3.1 adds support for LinkedIn contacts to the Pre, in addition to a Yahoo! calendar and contacts.

The updated OS will also bring “improvements” in e-mail and messaging, such as the ability to forward messages in the Messaging application, Palm added.

Other treats bundled into version 1.3.1 include a Facebook application and “more options for using your Palm Pre in corporate EAS environments”.

Further information about the update process is available online now.

Even less applications

The update is here but we now have even less applications :-( just 60 because they only allow you to see the the ones that SPECIFICALLY set your country, instead of allow you to filter out the ones that you are interested in.

Regards to 3G download, I think that the pre is only sold with unlimited data plans.

Cheers

Ermmmm....."improvements"?

"The updated OS will also bring “improvements” in e-mail and messaging, such as the ability to forward messages in the Messaging application, Palm added."

Exactly HOW did they forget this in the first place?

Automatically over 3G? No user intervention?

Expect to receive invoices for data usage, Palm.
