Palm has released webOS 1.4.1 in a variety of countries, but the update hasn’t hit the US just yet. Palm has yet to confirm a release date, but one would assume we’ll see it here sometime soon. Release notes for the O2 Palm Pre have been released, so you can expect more of the same when the update hit us in the US. For those in Europe, you can now open up your wallet and spend your hard earned money on webOS apps.
Update: Sprint customers are now webOS update 1.4.1.1 (thanks Adam!). No word yet from Verizon customers.

I cannot add facebook on my photoshare on my Palm Pre. It keeps saying I have a incorrect username & password. Before the update to 1.4 I was able to upload pictures. Then after the update in the beginning of the year I can’t. I tried to delete then readd the facebook to my photoshare account it keeps giving me that message. I am pretty sure my username & password is correct cause I log on everyday.
