Comments on: Palm webOS 1.3.5 Released, Full Changelog Now Online

Potentially, it's an even bigger win for developers. If a developer is just making his/her way to the App Catalog, and the app limit is still in place, that's potentially one less customer they can have for their app.

The WebGL improvements are also significant. Sure, WebOS doesn't seem like it supports WebGL right now, but at least there are the underpinnings of it. That's kind of a big deal.

About the only disappointment I could see with this update is that it doesn't include a video recording app. PreCorder has been available for a while now, so even if the people at Palm didn't want to invest the time into it, they could at least release PreCorder as-is in an update, or into the App Catalog. (Yes, I know there are reasons they wouldn't want to do this, but like I said, if I was looking for a reason to complain about this update, that's the best one I could think of.)

Timmay, for a young'un from down under, you seem remarkably savvy regarding America pop culture. I had no idea 1980s Hollywood had left such an indelible mark on YOUR childhood as well!

To rant a bit: The 80s - early 90's were the Renaissance period for action movies. Nowadays plots are too formulaic (or go over-the-top purely because they can) and there's too much CGI fakery of stuff that used to be done with old-fashioned stunts and models - compare Die Hard 4 with the originals, for instance. The art of the action movie is dying out, and it's sad...

(Also, there's the fact that Australia's film industry is rather embarassingly pathetic, so Hollywood is our only real source for big-budget movies.)

CGI rulz!

is synergy fatally flawed on the webOS and the Pre? is the architecture like an asthmatic trying to suck a golf ball through an already clogged garden hose while running a marathon?

Not that I can tell. I've updated and re-installed most of my apps and patches, and it still seems much faster than before to me. The calendar's speed is snappier, and the phone app, in particular, is much faster. Under 1.3.1, launching the phone app was lethargic. Now, it's lightning fast. Now I can cancel a phone call before the phone started dialing, whereas before the app wasn't fast enough to launch the card before the phone dialed. I'm personally very glad for that improvement.

Now if they could just get WebGL and an official video recording app...
