“Palm customers, you want game? The carriers have their updates. Get together and ask for 1.4.5″.
One of the benefits of purchasing a webOS device are the free and often regular updates pushed out by Palm. I’ve lost count of how many software updates have been released for the Sprint Palm Pre, all of which have improved my user experience with the phone. There’s been plenty of discussion about fragmentation on other platforms, most notably on Android phones. Are we starting to see fragmentation on webOS phones as result of the carriers? The current version of webOS is 1.4.5 and it’s been available for both the Sprint Palm Pre and Palm Pixi since August 11th. That’s not the case with the other two US carriers.
Let’s take a look at Verizon. Yesterday we reported that webOS 1.4.5 was starting to ship for the Palm Pixi Plus. No word on the same update for Palm Pre Plus owners on Verizon, arguably the bulk of webOS owners on that carrier. No word on when that update is coming, this at a time when we are already seeing word of webOS 2.0 on the horizon.
AT&T hasn’t updated either the Palm Pixi Plus or Palm Pre Plus. As to when that might be happening, there has been no word from Palm or AT&T. Just yesterday, HP’s Rahul Sood on Twitter suggested customers nudge carriers for the updates. “Palm customers, you want game? The carriers have their updates. Get together and ask for 1.4.5″.
Palm has done a remarkable job with providing an operating system that can deliver updates OTA (over the air) with little effort on the part of consumers.
Why are the carriers so slow to push updates and is this the start of fragmentation across the webOS platform.
Verizon has started to rollout webOS 1.4.5 for the Palm Pixi Plus. The full changelog is below. Of course, the most important is the ability to run 3D games, so now you folks on Verizon can get your Angry Birds game on. Now if we can get webOS 1.4.5 for the Verizon Palm Pre Plus, we’d be in good shape.
This release addresses several security issues with the Palm webOS software.
I posted a while back about RovioMobile saying that they were considering porting their app to our beloved platform. Well today, me and my mucker @benfysh on twitter came at the dev like a two pronged attack and Mr AngryBirds confirmed that the hold up has been due to issues with the game on the Pixi, which need ironing out. Of course, I gave the dev a gentle nudge to say I had no problem with him pushing the Pre release out and releasing the Pixi version at a later date 
He also confirmed that the webOS version will be receiving the newest level packs 2 and 3, and will be updating all his mobile versions in-line with one another!
Oh, for those that may have missed the short sneak peak video that RovioMobile posted, you can go watch it here! Angry Birds webOS
Late yesterday, Palm released webOS 1.4.5 update for the Sprint Palm Pre and Palm Pixi. No word yet on the same update for Verizon and AT&T customers. If you are on Sprint and haven’t received webOS 1.4.5 yet, you should receive it shortly OTA. Let us know how it’s working for you. Below is the full changelog.
