Today Palm made webOS 1.1 available for the Palm Pre. The changelog is outrageous. There's only one new application, but most of the Pre's systems see major updates. Oh, and Palm fixed the Pre's ability to sync with iTunes.Everything listed below is all well and good, but thhe real news here is that Palm is thumbing its nose in the face of Apple. Apple just issues iTunes 8.2.1, which broke the Pre's ability to sync with iTunes. In response, Palm issues a major update for webOS, restoring iTunes sync to the Pre.

Pre 1 - Apple 1.

Your move, Apple.

New applications include NFL Mobile Live from Sprint, which lets users watch or listen to live NFL games right on their phone. As for the rest of the updates... This changelog is out of control.

Calendar

- For Calendar accounts you create on your phone, the default reminder intervals are 15 minutes for timed events and one day for all-day events.

Camera

-The Photos application opens more quickly when launched from the camera.

Clock

- Enhanced support for time zones in Clock.

- When you set an alarm in Clock, an alarm icon appears in the notification area at the bottom of the screen. Tap the icon to display alarm details.

Contacts

- Friends added and deleted in Facebook on the web are now correctly added and deleted in the Facebook account in Contacts on the phone.

- As soon as you create or makes changes to a Google contact on the phone, the phone begins a sync to reflect those changes in Google on the web.

Email

- When you set up an Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) email account, you can enter the mail server name as an IP address.

- Support for self-signed certificates with multiple common names has been added.

- When you reply to an email in HTML format using an EAS account, the formatting of the sender's original message is now retained in the reply.

- Palm's EAS implementation now supports several Exchange ActiveSync Policies, including the following: PIN/Password Required.

- IT administrators can ensure a password is assigned to the phone. Administrators can also specify the minimum length of the password; Inactivity timeout.

- IT administrators can ensure that an inactive phone goes into a locked state after a certain time period. You cannot set a higher timeout interval for your phone, but you can set a shorter interval; Remote Wipe.

- IT Administrators can remotely erase all data on a phone from their Exchange console. IT administrators can also have the device wipe itself if an incorrect password is entered more than a specified number of times.

Messaging

- You can enter emoticons in new text, multimedia, and instant messages. Emoticons also display in incoming messages.

- If you set the phone to use a 24-hour time format, the message times shown in a conversation appear in 24-hour time.

- If you go into an IM account's preferences, all the options are available even if you are signed in to the account. You can tap Remove Account to delete the account, enter a new password to update the password, or tap Sign In to sign in with your updated password. Previously, you needed to sign out of the account before you could use these preferences.

- When you delete an IM account, a message now appears asking you to confirm that you want to delete the account.

Phone

- When multiple missed call notifications are displayed on the dashboard, the time of the most recent missed call is shown.

- When you slide the ringer switch off, a bell icon with a slash is displayed. Previously, the icon was a speaker with a slash.

- In Phone Preferences, the Show Contact Matches preference is now turned on by default. When typing on the keyboard in the phone app, the phone automatically displays both the numbers being entered and any contact matches for the characters entered.

System

- Improved functionality of person reminders. A person reminder is a notification that you create in a contact entry. The notification appears when you have a call or exchange an email, text, multimedia, or IM message with a contact.

- Resolves an issue preventing media sync from working with latest version of iTunes (8.2.1).

- When you enter a search term in Card view or the Launcher to perform a universal search, if you select the Wikipedia web search option, results are shown in the Wikipedia Mobile site instead of the Desktop site.

Web

- You can now use symbols from the symbols table (Sym Sym key icon + key) when you enter text into a web page dialog box.

- If you have a page open at a certain zoom level, leave the page, and use the onscreen Back Web Back button button or the back gesture to return to the page, the zoom level is restored right away.

- A new gesture is now available that works the same as the onscreen Forward Web Forward button button. To move forward through open web pages, make a short swipe left to right in the gesture area.

- When using the Wikipedia drop-down search feature in the address bar, results are shown in the Wikipedia Mobile site instead of the Desktop site.

- When you tap a link, the link appears highlighted to indicate it has been activated, even if it takes a moment for the linked page to open.

YouTube

- After you enter search text, you can tap the Search Search icon icon to perform a search. You still have the option of pressing Enter Enter key to perform the search.
