Despite that “sinking feeling” that many stockholders and employees are getting, in terms of the long-term viability of Palm, given the latest reports from the beleaguered company, it hasn’t given up. It has just released version 1.4 of its webOS platform, which adds significant improvements to the platform.
According to Sprint, Version 1.4 adds / fixes the following:
Fixes:
- Time Zone bug fixed
- Network time sync bug fixed to reflect accurate Network time
- Bluetooth car-kit transition to device corrected
- No EV icon bug fixed (random)
- Random browser formatting bugs fixed
- Fixed bug that incorrectly displayed Sprint when actually was Digital Roaming
- Missing Contact issue specifically with swap down to 1.2.9.1 or less
Feature Updates:
- Phonebook Transfer (import & export)
- Adds Video Capture capability & edit
- Calendar Enhancements
- Messaging Enhancements
- Improved Performance (Phone & CAL)
- Email Enhancements
- Notification Enhancements
Perhaps the biggest change of note is that the update adds the necessary foundation for Adobe Flash support. That, however, will come as a separate download from the Palm App Catalog.
One other thing, Palm’s post on this update does not mention Verizon as a carrier receiving an update. It does say that “other carries will be coming soon,” however.
