No leaks or release date rumors this time, a mere 39mb download is all that separates your Sprint, O2 or Movistar connected Pre from video recording, Flash , enhanced message notifications and much-desired performance and battery life improvements. Verizon, Bell and Telcel customers are unfortunately still waiting for their day in the sun, only specified by the official Palm blog as “soon.” Check out Palm’s trailer for the new features and the full webOS 1.4 changelog after the break, after queueing up the download of course.
Just hours after we wrapped our mitts around what looked to be Palm’s official webOS 1.4 changelog , along comes this: confirmation from none other than Sprint itself. According to a post on the carrier’s official forums by Sprint Admin ‘izzyks,’ both the Pre and Pixi will see the long-awaited webOS 1.4 update hit sometime tomorrow evening. As always, users will see an OTA alert when the new files are ready for consumption, and you can find a full list of the fixes and changes just beyond the break

Android and WebOS are both relatively new platforms. Android was launched in the second half of 2008 and WebOS was launched in the first half of 2009.
It is that time of night.
There are new apps and updates available in the App Catalog again! Let’s see how long Palm can keep this up. If we could have 10-15 new apps a day forever and that number continues to increase as more developers hop on the platform and more users purchase WebOS devices, Palm will be in great shape. We will keep an eye out to see how long this lasts

When WebOS was first launched there were no news feed apps to speak of. Only a few months later WebOS now has some of the most innovative news feed apps on a mobile platform. We take a look at Newsroom which is currently the most expensive feed app and we feel it is worth every penny.
If you like your software homebrewed with just a hint of alpha then boy do we have an app for you. The WebOS homebrew community just released Precorder; an app that lets your Palm Pre record audio and 30fps 480×320 pixel video in H.264/AVC format — you can can even control the built-in LED for recording in low-light situations. Unfortunately, there’s no video preview presented while recording but hey, it’s alpha software bro…
Going into yesterday evening we were prepared for Friday to be another app-less day, but Palm had other plans for us. Yesterday we received more new apps than we usually see in total updated and new: 26, bringing the grand total in the App Catalog to 413. Sure, it still pales in comparison to that other mobile application store, but we’ll take what we can get.
A couple new apps hit the catalog along with some new updates.
We are still getting quite a few updates pushed into the catalog just a day after the Pixi launch.
