Palm (NSDQ: PALM) has made a new firmware available for the Pre, in a move that’s obviously designed to coincide with the Pixi release. The update packs tons of minor fixes that further improve the user experience. Here’s what’s changed:
- Yahoo! synchronization is added
- Message forwarding
- A new option for restarting the phone: press and hold power > Power > Restart.
- Video clips (including YouTube) now display in widescreen mode by default.
- Embedded YouTube video on a web page can be opened with a dedicated app, just like on the iPhone.
- Ability to select a ringtone for new message alerts.
- Ability to go forward or backward in the song using a playback slider (again, just like on the iPhone).
Unfortunately this update doesn’t bring back the iTunes compatibility. Guess that needed to end at some point…

Don’t forget, version 1.3.1 also includes Yahoo Messenger as part of the integerated Messaging app. It now supports Google Chat, AIM, and Yahoo Messenger. Awesome!
I just loaded version 1.3.1 and even though Yahoo shows up but won’t letm e run it because it won’t accept my yahoo id and password.
Any ideas??
