Palm Pre/Pixi webOS 1.4.1 update is available for Sprint users
Posted By RichC on April 1, 2010
A new webOS 1.4.1 update is available for the Palm Pre and Pixi … at least for Sprint users here in the U.S. The feature improvements (listed below) are welcomed fixes to the 1.4 release, but what I’m really looking forward to is tethering with the the new 4G access that is now available to Palm Pre and Pixi users!*
* FYI … April fools … sorry no 4G without new hardware.
