Palm WebOS 1.2.1 now available, repairs iTunes media sync
Palm has once again pushed back at Apple, releasing a new version of WebOS for the Palm Pre that enables it to be synced with the latest version of iTunes. What do you mean push back?
Back in May it was discovered that by plugging a Palm Pre into a Mac it would sync content with iTunes with no issues. Once Apple found out that didn’t last long at all Apple quickly released an update to iTunes that prevented syncing from non-Apple devices.
Apparently, Pre isn’t happy about all this as we are now with another update reversing the situaction back like it was before. So Pre owners get it while the getting is good before Apple strikes back again.
Here is a list of all the changes made
• Resolved an issue affecting Exchange 2007 users whereby they could no longer synchronize with their Exchange account for Email, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks.
• Resolves an issue preventing media sync from working with 9.0.1 (Ed—Emphasis added)
• Media sync now synchronizes photo albums, maintaining the album structure in the Photos app
• Media sync now allows for synchronizing photos without requiring the full-resolution originals
• Resolved an issue where if a user tried to play streaming music or video, the media stream might drop out or have a long delay before starting.
• Addresses a security issue encountered by webkit developers
