Update: an anonymous tipster has confirmed that the update should start rolling out tomorrow, April 28th. As per usual with webOS updates, they’ll get pushed out to users over the course of 10 days or so, but we’re guessing that also as per usual, you’ll be able to hit the Updates app to get it right away. Screencap from Verizon’s system after the break – thanks anonymous tipster!
Broncot in our forums took a gander at Verizon’s Palm Pre support page and found a new link to this support PDF detailing the changes coming in webOS 1.4.1.1. First off – we’re happy to see that the delay means that Verizon is getting the full 1.4.1.1 update instead of the basic 1.4.1 update – the difference being that 1.4.1.1 handles background processes more elegantly.
Otherwise we’re looking at a similar list of improvements that we saw on other devices: improved Bluetooth, fixes for the photo app, the return of the forward gesture, and best of all for long-suffering Verizon Palm Pre Plus owners, "More accurate keyboard input."
Verizon’s support page still says "Coming Soon!" Let’s hope so – we’re eager to get this update behind us so we can start agitating for the speed and battery-life improvements in the next version of webOS.
