Palm Press: Backup Failures; EU Getting webOS Update

palm-press

It is Thursday and that means it’s time for another Palm Press. Palm Press is our weekly look at the world of Palm. Some Pre owners have discovered the hard way that a bug in Palm’s profile backup service leaves them short some data. It seems that Palm’s Profile service can corrupt backup data, and users report the loss of contact and calendar data which must be recreated. Palm has acknowledged that a problem is affecting a “small number” of users.

Pre owners in the U.S. got webOS version 1.3.1 a while back, but those outside the U.S. had been left high and dry. That’s over now, with the latest version getting pushed out to phones that have not received the update prior. Version 1.3.1 was largely a maintenance release, with a new version of the Facebook app included.

Techmeme is a great way to keep up with the latest and greatest news in the tech world and they recently released a new mobile version of the site. The new version presents the content in a better format for phones, and is automatically invoked when it detects a supported mobile browser. The new format supports the Pre and Pixi browsers, offering a nicely formatted web page when surfing with those phones.
