out and note that iTunes doesn’t recognise their Palm Pre as a sync device and as for speed they haven’t experienced any real increase as yet but there area few key tweaks such as…
A new option for restarting the handset — press and hold power >Power > Restart, although the previous restart option is still available – – Yahoo! appears as a Calendar/Contacts/IM sync account – – when you tap YouTube the YouTube app launches and plays in the application – – widescreen videos now display in widescreen by default .
Forward text or multimedia by tapping the message > Forward – – the ability to select unique ringtones for new message alerts – – and when listening to tunes with album artwork displayed the user can tap the display below the art to display a playback slider, and dragging said slider jumps the tune forward and backwards.
