Palm webOS gets 1.4.5 update
The once popular Palm has recently expanded its horizons. Actually I guess that would be the ever powerful HP has expanded its horizons. Ok, however you would like to see it, Palm has issued an update to their Pre line. Here it goes.
WebOS is the Palm branded operating system that has been consistent enough over the years to spawn new ideas into the mobile industry. Recently however the Palm OS has seen a drop in its user base. Monday marked a new day for Palm Pre and Palm Pixi users. The WebOS 1.4.5 update when noticed on Monday was to be issued to Sprint and SFR customers (SFR being a French based carrier). This update is supposedly directed at fixing some security issues, it is said to fix issues when attempting to download podcasts, will fix entering text in web pages and will also be providing support for webOS PDK. The update is available on Palms website and or should be issued to end users via OTA. At the time of this update being released it seemed that there were some issues with the SFR download page and the Sprint page crossing paths.
When checking Palms site now it’s does not seem that the update for webOS 1.4.5 is available to Sprint customers. The update is currently only available to SFR customers.
Hold tight Sprint customers as it can only be assumed that the update should be issued soon.
Tell us what you think; have you downloaded the webos 1.4.5? Did you see any major improvements?

Finally getting the update today. Not because it’s fancy or I want it but because I should keep up on the updates. It’s pathetic that it took this long for this update of absolutely nothing. To top it off why is that original Pre users are ignored and the Palm Pixi and Pre Plus are the ones getting all the new features?
If it wasn’t for the $10/month fee for the EVO I’d get that. Heck, if it wasn’t for my contract I might contemplate switching. I adore Sprint always have, I’ve used it for 8+ years from a range of being on my family’s account to turning 18 and getting one myself. I’m almost 21 and absolutely fed up.
February is right around the corner…(contracts up!)

Have not seen any update … live in California. Promoises, promises. My patience is waning. Starting to think about a Droid but do love WEBOS.

I need to say that my decision to buy a Palm Pixi with Sprint provider was each a rational and emotional one particular. I mean, the Palm Pixi is wonderful and functional. And coupled using the provider excellent of Sprint, it looks almost nothing short of a revolution within the doing. I believe that Palm and Sprint have (almost) hit it off famously. I did a good deal of analysis just before buying the Pixi but overlooked at least one particular thing. The Pixi will not, yet, permit me synchronize my e-mails involving it and Outlook. As far as I’m concerned, this is a drawback I’m facing unless Palm comes up using a remedy easily. With my earlier SmartPhone running a Windows OS, it was a snap to synchronize e-mails and other info with one’s Computer. But Pixi’s inability to complete so is making existence a small difficult for me simply because I’ve to Bcc each and every e-mail, I send out, to my e-mail address after which manually transfer it towards the ‘sent’ folder in Outlook. I hope Palm, or at least a third-party, will arrive up which includes a alternative incredibly soon that may effortlessly allow me synchronize all my e-mails, and ideally all needed data, concerning the Pixi and my office Pc.
