After Sprint failed to roll out the long awaited webOS 1.4 update for the Palm Pre last week despite their internal confirmation, new information has surfaced confirming the roll out for this week. As Palm previously stated a February release for the update during CES, Palm has until Sunday, February 28th to keep to that timeline.
The 1.4 update will enable support for native applications and development, 3D gaming and on-board video recording/editing. The update will also enable Flash 10.1 compatibility, but full Flash support will be rolled out in another update.
The Palm PDK, expected in the 1.4 update, is a major improvement to the webOS platform. It delivers real-time applications that parallel Apple’s iOS. Palm hopes the added functionality will enable webOS to compete more directly with Apple, and provide competitive advantage over Google’s Android platform.
this is sooo hilarious. why? because you’re SOO off. if you knew ANYTHING about palm and it’s 4 new phones, you’d know that the update to 1.4 webOS has yet to be officially stated by palm. Precentral.net has rumored that 1.4 was set to arrive on the 15th, not sprint. the intel was supposedly from sprint, but that hasn’t been confirmed. also Precentral.net has romored once again that 1.4 is to arrive thursday for the palm pixi and pre modules. if there’s anyone to blame, it’s verizon. when palm releases an update, it goes to the developers for application updates (if needed), then to the respective carriers. sprint has more than likely accepted the update, but I guess palm is waiting on verizon to finish testing the update fully, or what they believe suits fit, so they can be assured it’s right for the customer. palm is not responsible for verizon’s lag or Precentral.net’s unforgiving rumors.
by the way, rhe 1.4 webOS update will include 3D gaming and 10.1 flash capabiliry for the pre phones only. video editing and recording are for both the pre and pixi modules. so ta-huh get it straight 😛
besides, palm promised at CES that the update’ll be here by the end of feb, so if you’re that needy, it shouldn’t be that hard for you to wait. GOSH. and if you do feel the need, be sure to contact palm support if you fail to see the update on your respective webOS device after 12:00am pacific standard time march 1st 2010.
Sprint probbably did send out that internal communication but it was really just a heads up to sprint from Palm. Ultimatly Palm’s just trying to get the best OS out there that they can and speaking for myself I’d rather wait a couple days then get an OS with bugs.
