A few hours after we placed our mitts around what appeared to be official Palm webOS 1.4 changelog, along comes this: confirmation from none other than Sprint itself. According to a post on the official forums by the carrier Sprint izzyks admin ‘,’ both before and Pixi will see the much anticipated Update 1.4 webOS hit some time tomorrow evening. As always, users will see an alert OTA when new files are ready for consumption, and you can find a complete list of fixes and changes just after the break.

Update: Looks like the post was removed! The message in its entirety is after the break.

Good news for nonplussed (more ways than one) before and Pixi owners: come the day after Valentine’s Day, it seems that you are able to capture your family in some format images! This is from a Sprint technician suspects allegedly took over screencaps promising an update firmware with all the features we’ve heard her debut as webOS 1.4, except for Flash support on the Meadow. Note the use of “alleged” and “would”, though – we can not independently confirm this picture, so take it with a grain of salt. However, February is the date previously mentioned output, and when better to leave just after the midpoint of the month?

Running on the Palm webOS mobile platform, the 3G-enabled Palm Pre Plus for Verizon Wireless brings together all of your important information from where it resides–on your phone, at your workplace, at home, or on the Web (more…)

The revolutionary Palm Pre will make your life simpler by always being one step ahead. The Palm Pre will pull each of your online calendars into a single, easy-to-view screen, so you’ll always be on top of your appointment (more…)

Palm has tricked iTunes into thinking that the Palm Pre is an iPod so you can sync your Palm Pre with iTunes. Right now the latest iTunes 8.2 still supports the Palm Pre, but Jon Lech Johansen says that Apple can easily block iTunes support for the Palm Pre in their next update. The question remains whether or not Apple will block the Palm Pre from iTunes or not. Do you think Apple will do this? I definitely think they will be doing this in their next update because they’re Palm’s competitor.

Verizon already announced that they plan to offer the Palm Pre on their network but they didn’t mention any specific month that they would be offering it. On CNBC, David Pogue says that Verizon is offering the Palm Pre in December and that’s when he will be getting it. Verizon still has not mentioned any release date and this may just be a rumor.
