News from Palm shows that the Pre is shortly going to get the new update of WebOS. All of the workers on The MxWeb are intently waiting for this update because of its new features.


Some new features included with this update:



  • Yahoo has been added to Synergy: Email, Contacts, Calendar, and IM

  • Copy, forward, or delete individual text messages and IMs

  • PIN length can now be arbitrarily long and you can set the PIN timeout to any length of time up to a half hour

  • Placeholder images for Flash in the web browser, YouTube videos launch the YouTube app

  • The Music Player now has a time 'scrubber' that pops up when you hold down the FF or RW button.

  • The 'underpinnings' for the Facebook app are here, which is a way of saying Pre users won't get it until they get 1.3.1.

    • The most notable non-feature in webOS 1.3.1:
    It doesn't sync directly with iTunes 9.0.2.
