In particular, I’m attractive at Palm because webOS v1.2 was leaked for a abbreviate while aftermost night, per PreCentral. It appears that the aperture is acquainted and that best Palm Pre owners will accept to delay for the official update.

I can’t be sure of everything that’s in the update, but the video demo shows:

- Tapping a text entry box zooms it — thank goodness, I was getting tired of manually zooming for those!
