Palm Web OS 1.4

Last week I updated my Palm Pre to the latest version of Palm's Web OS - Version 1.4.

This is an impressive update for an already impressive Operating System.  I really think that other phone manufacturers need to pay attention to this device - especially since Palm released the phone to Verizon.

One of the key enhancements of the update is the addition of Video Capture.  Video capture really does add a new dimension to this device; and the quality of the capture - for a phone - is pretty good.

I hope those guys at Palm continue to feed this product.  I understand they "bet the farm" on this operating system; and people have been hard on it's level of success, but it's a very good device.  Normally devices that are great make their way to the front if companies can establish consistency with their products.  When I switch back to Apple's interface (iphone OS), there are several UI features that I miss; most notably, multi-tasking.

I've really enjoyed my Pre, and it would be a sad thing to me if Palm decided to stop development on this product.
