Palm releases webOS 1.4.1 with paid apps for Bell (and webOS 1.4.1.1 for Sprint customers)

Palm Pre

Palm has released webOS 1.4.1 for the Bell Mobility version of the Palm Pre and webOS 1.4.1.1 for the Sprint Palm Pixi and Palm Pre. The new version is primarily a bug fix release except for those of us in Canada. For Bell customers, webOS 1.4.1 brings the ability to download paid apps.

Among the other fixes and enhancements, you’ll find:

  • Bluetooth issue fixed when connecting to supported BMW car kits
  • Fixed issue where newly taken photos and videos overwrote existing ones
  • Fixed issues in Contacts to address cropping and speed dial issues
  • Pinching in/out to zoom out/in now works correctly in Doc View
  • Fixed intermittent issue where volume slider appeared onscreen incorrectly
  • Browser forward gesture fixed
  • And more

For now, the Palm Pixi Plus and Palm Pre Plus on Verizon remain on version 1.4.0.
