For those of you who were looking forward to webOS 1.4 making its appearance on Monday we have some bad news: It didn’t arrive. No doubt you already noticed, though. However, the week wasn’t a complete disappointment! Read on for the highlights:
Auto Update Patch Technology Updates
The WebOS Internals folks have been busy again, updating patches so they will be more compatible with webOS updates. Check out this forum thread for more information. In short, if you’ve applied patches to your smartphone be sure to update to the latest versions. To help you out, Preware has also been updated recently, adding French, Italian, German and Spanish translations, so be sure to run Preware and apply all the updates.
Roundup
In addition to webOS 1.4 a lot of folks are expecting Flash to appear this month. The Pre Central folks have two stories about Adobe to check out: Flash 10.1 may not be out this month but Adobe is planning on releasing AIR for webOS. AIR is a technology developed by Adobe that allows for the distribution of Web-like applications to the desktop (and now, mobile devices). WebOS Internals will have a booth at the upcoming Southern California Linux Expo and may have some Palm giveaways. (Have you noticed all the really cool stuff is happening in California? How about some love for the East Coast?) Also, check out the App Catalog, a number of new apps have arrived, including Earthworm Jim and Avatar. Back on the disappointing side, PreCentral also noted that DataViz, maker of Documents To Go, didn’t have very positive news about a full version for webOS. If you need this capability be sure to drop by their web site and sign up to receive notification or send them a tweet to let them know you’re interested.
