New Gadget 2011

webOS 2.1 released. Rejoice Palm Pre 2 owner, you can now update your devices. This new update give support for the Touchstone's Exhibition mode, Voice Dial, and a plethora of updates to existing apps throughout the system. Classic, The old-school Palm OS emulator for webOS which is dropped by HP in webOS 2.0 is coming back in webOS 2.1.

webOS 2.1 has already made its way to older devices like European Palm Pre Plus phones, but now it looks like it’s finally making its way onto newer devices, namely the Palm Pre 2. We’re admittedly a little surprised it’s taken this long for webOS 2.1 to be released for the Pre 2 (especially the unlocked Pre 2), but we’re glad to see it finally hitting, at least for the Rogers Pre 2 (where we've already seen 2.1 glimpsed before). Yeah, it’s pretty silly that the Pre Plus got 2.1 before the 2.0 launch vehicle Pre 2. Regardless, even though the changelog hasn’t yet been published, we can tell you that webOS 2.1 brings the usual basket of bug fixes along with probably-not-noticeable speed and battery life improvements, and also finally brings Exhibition mode support to the Pre 2.
