In the past, Palm has not been too active supporting their last PalmOS products. This has all changed with the webOS – these devices have been receiving a steady stream of updates ever since they were released.

As Sprint was the initial webOS carrier, most patches debuted on its network – but Verizon usually followed suite. This has now happened again – Pre owners on Verizon can now get webOS 1.4.1.1. The official change log reads as follows:

Version information
