A little off from today's rumored release date but, according to an admin at Sprint's own forums webOS 1.4 will hit Pre and Pixi users (on Sprint and in the US anyway) tomorrow evening. The change log, which was supposedly leaked today lists the addition of video recording, something by the name of notification enhancements, which is likely LED notifications and of course, support for Adobe Flash 10.1 beta. Although, the list also includes a few fixes such as, the network time sync issue that seems to be haunting many GSM Pre users. Currently, this is pretty much still a rumor if not, slightly tipped in the direction of happening. Then again, February's days are numbered and if Palm is going to deliver on the February release promised, there isn't much time left. We'll just have to wait and see, I suppose.

The full supposed change log is below.

Update: According to PreCentral the 1.4 update for the Pixi will be released on February 29th but, as they mention 2010 isn't a leap year, Also there is a new pic from a Sprint source.
