This week brings us more news of updates to webOS: Pixi users have already received webOS 1.3.2 and there are rumors of webOS 1.3.5 coming soon. These were the two big stories. Read on for the details and the Roundup at the bottom.
webOS 1.3.2 for Pixi
It seems like just yesterday webOS 1.3.1 came out and now Palm has released version 1.3.2. The version notes indicate that there were “several security issues” that were fixed. As the fix did not simultaneously come out for the Pre we can only speculate that the problems either did not affect the Pre or the other fixes to the Pixi were significant enough to require the early release. Pixi owners who have not received the update notification are urged to hit the Updates app to begin the download. Just be sure you have an EVDO signal!
webOS 1.3.5 Rumors
As if 1.3.2 weren’t enough, Palm is reportedly preparing webOS 1.3.5. Although details are sketchy PreCentral reports that the app download limit we’ve discussed before will finally be eliminated. If true, this is certainly welcome news for developers, many of whom have told us they have been losing sales due to customers not being able to download more apps for their Pre and Pixi smartphones. People will need the extra install space as the App Catalog (in the US) is now up to 519 apps.
Roundup
The WebOS Internals folks have been busy again. This time, they’ve previewed a Game Boy emulator running on the Pre. Check the bottom of the page for links to videos of the emulator running on the Pre. Our friends over at Self Aware Games have finally gotten Word Ace printed cards for those times your friends are actually over in person. Supplies are limited so order now if you want them! That’s the big stuff for this week. If you know of anything else please send us a tip in the comments below or tweet us on Twitter.
