Posted on 16. Jul, 2010 by IBM.
That rumored software update for HTC’s Droid Incredible is apparently now hitting some devices, and it’s a doozy — it’s impressive enough, in fact, that it darn near gives you a new phone (short of Froyo, anyway). The headline features are the additi…

webOS 1.4.5 is out, promises to make your wildest minor bugfix dreams come true
Posted on 05. Jul, 2010 by IBM.
Palm’s touting that webOS 1.4.5 is now out and about, though its support page for the version is a wacky hodgepodge of Sprint and SFR versions of the update — perfect for French expats living in the good ol’ US of A, we suppose. Odds are very good tha…
