The newest version of WebOS is now available for download on your Palm Pre. Palm has released webOS 1.1 to the Exchange-loving masses. Palm webOS 1.1 brings several additions to our support for Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), including remote wipe, PIN/password requirements, inactivity timeout, improved certificate handling, and more.
Version 1.1 also includes a few other goodies for everyone — like support for emoticons in the messaging app, and the ability to set ”person reminders” in the contacts app (next time you get a message or phone call from that person, a message pops up showing you a reminder to ask them about their vacation in Maui or maybe how their wedding went…”
In the release notes of webOS 1.1 there are more details such as a Free NFL Mobile from Sprint, improved camera speed and better Facebook contact syncing. A new gesture is now available that works the same as the onscreen Forward button. To move forward through open web pages, make a short swipe left to right in the gesture area.
The full list of new features available in webOS 1.1 can be found in Palm’s release notes for the update
