Palm WebOS goes to 1.1… Let the games begin!
One of the things I’m most excited about with the Pre is Palm’s demonstrated commitment to frequent incremental OS updates distributed OTA. I upgraded my Pre to 1.1.0, the fourth update in less than two months, and I’m happy to report that it fixes a couple of issues that have been bugging me recently:
- Exchange updates now happen instantly like they’re supposed to; for some reason this stopped working on my phone (if it ever did)
- When you press the Photo library button from within the Camera, the photo you just took is brought up automatically (though it doesn’t seem much faster as claimed by the release notes)
- They added a “Forward” gesture that works in the browser
I’m also seeing greater snappiness moving from page to page and opening new apps, but that could be my imagination or wishful thinking.
Also very interesting is the fact that this update restores iTunes sync, which Apple disabled via the 8.2.1 iTunes update. Let the game of cat-and-mouse begin!!!
