Palm has released Palm webOS 1.1, which the company hopes will make
the Palm Pre smartphone more appealing to businesses of all sizes, a
Palm executive said.
In a nod to businesses and enterprise users, Palm webOS 1.1 brings
several additions to Palm's support for Exchange ActiveSync, including
remote wipe, PIN/password requirements, inactivity timeout, improved
certificate handling, and more, the company said.
Released on July 23, in addition to these business-friendly
enhancements, Palm webOS 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," said
John Traynor, vice president of Business Products at Palm.
"'Pre' and 'business' just got a lot friendlier." Traynor said in a blog post.
Added Traynor:
"Oh, and one more thing: Palm webOS 1.1 re-enables Palm media sync.
That's right -- you once again can have seamless access to your music,
photos and videos from the current version of iTunes (8.2.1)."
In addition, new applications with webOS 1.1 include NFL Mobile Live
from Sprint so that users can watch or listen to live NFL games on
their phones.
