We had a chance to sit down with Jon Rubinstein after HP’s webOS event today, and he confirmed some unfortunate news for us: older Palm devices like the original Pre, the Pre Plus, the Pixi, and the Pixi Plus won’t receive that previously promised update to webOS 2.0 .

That said, it’s clear that he wants to do right by customers — he told us that HP would do “something special” for owners of older hardware when the Pre 3, the Veer, and the TouchPad hit the market

Palm’s touting that webOS 1.4.5 is now out and about, though its support page for the version is a wacky hodgepodge of Sprint and SFR versions of the update — perfect for French expats living in the good ol’ US of A, we suppose. Odds are very good that this new build isn’t going to blow you away, but hey, an update’s an update: you’ll get “minor fixes and enhancements” for use with the PDK , a text field fix for the browser, a “rare problem” involving podcast downloads, and that’s about it. The optimist in us wants to believe that the utter lack of innovation in this latest update is a sign that most of Palm’s brain trust is invested in engineering fresh hardware at the moment — right, Palm
