If you&#8217;ve taken a break from jamming on the &#8220;Update&#8221; button, it&#8217;s time to go tap it one last time: the rollout of webOS 1.4 has just begun. The catch: it seems that it&#8217;s only for Sprint handsets right now (<strong>Update:<\/strong> In the US, that is &#8211; it&#8217;s also available on O2 UK, O2 Germany, O2 Ireland, and Movistar in Europe), with the Verizon Pre Plus and Pixi Plus still reporting that 1.3 is the latest release.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-27159\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We knew it was coming in February thanks to Palm&#8217;s announcement at CES &#8212; and thanks to the rumor mill, we were all lead to believe it was coming<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mobilecrunch.com\/2010\/02\/10\/webos-1-4-update-rollout-date-revealed\/\"> a few weeks ago<\/a>. All false starts and false hopes aside, it&#8217;s available now. We&#8217;re seeing reports (thanks Twitter!) that it has gone live on Sprint handsets. <\/p>\n<p>Curiously absent, however, are any reports of the update hitting Verizon Pre\/Pixi Pluses. With the update going out this late in the evening (a bit after 10:30 pm PST), I wouldn&#8217;t be at all surprised if there were some last-minute snags; might the Verizon update have been held at the last minute?  <\/p>\n<p>The biggest new feature in webOS 1.4 &#8212; at least, of those available right this second &#8212; is its new found ability to record and edit video. webOS also lays all the necessary foundation for Adobe Flash support, though that bit will come as a download from the App Catalog at a later time. There are other smaller features and bug fixes throughout &#8212; for those, check out the full change log below.
