Palm Pre WebOS 1.3.1 update has been released.  There are a few minor fixes and updates that should make users experience much better.  Does this upgrade unlocks access to the GPU and provides the extra speed that all the Pre owners have been waiting for?  Unfortunately we do not have a Pre on hand to test, so we will have to wait and find out from some users that will upgrade their phones to the latest update.  

In the mean time, here are the highlights from Palm’s about the changes made:

• Yahoo! now appears as a Calendar/Contacts/instant messaging synchronization account.
• You can forward a text or multimedia message by tapping the message > Forward.
• A new option is available for restarting the phone: press and hold power > Power > Restart. The prior restart method (Device Info > Reset Options > Restart) is still available.
• Widescreen videos (including YouTube) now display in widescreen mode on the phone by default, instead of being cropped.
• If you tap to play a YouTube video embedded on a web page, the YouTube application launches and the video plays in the app.
• You can select a unique ringtone for new message alerts: Open Messaging > application menu > Preferences & Accounts > Sound > Ringtone.
• While listening to a song with album art displayed, you can tap the screen below the art to display a playback slider. Dragging the slider jumps forward or backward in the song.
