Palm Pre and Pixi users have been waiting for webOS 1.4 to hit their phones as Palm promised it would happen in February. Rumors first suggested February 15 as the date that webOS 1.4 would be released, but that didn't happen. The next rumor was that it would happen today, the 25th, but so far there is no sign of webOS 1.4.
Pre Central has received a supposed webOS 1.4 changelog today from an anonymous tipster. Could this be a calculated move from Palm to keep dangling webOS 1.4 in front of their customers faces when they can't produce the actual product? Who knows, but dedicated webOS users are becoming increasingly frustrated with the slow development of the webOS platform. Anyone who has picked up an Android phone knows that Google is making much faster progress in their OS.
