Google's Android and Apple's iPhone OS are easily the leading two Mobile operating systems in terms of sheer mindshare, but the coemption is heating up. Microsoft has just launched Windows Phone 7 Series(slated to ship later in the year), and has just released their latest version of the multi-tasking webOS. Both the Pre and the Pixi are receiving the update, which has been distributed to both Sprint users and Verizon users (the latter of which own the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus).
WebOS 1.4 is the first major update for Palm's mobile smartphone operating system in quite some time, and the changes are fairly significant. The list of fixes include a time zone bug that has been squashed, a network time sync error that has been sealed up and a solution that does away with random browser formatting quirks and a bug that incorrectly displayed Sprint when actually was Digital Roaming.
The list of enhancements is even more robust, with video recording (and in-phone editing) being the highlight of the bunch. There's also the ability to upload videos to YouTube or Facebook, new export options from the address book, new e-mail sort options, a new application launcher and a new "Blink" option in Notifications. The full list of changes are below, and if you're an owner of one of these phones, you'll need to follow the instructions once Sprint or Verizon sends you an alert to say that the 39MB (Sprint) or 43MB (Verizon) file is ready to be downloaded onto your device. And then you can shoot a video about just how happy you are--imagine that!
