Palm webOS 1.0.3 is Now Out

Fire up your update app, Palm webOS 1.0.3 is now out. According to Palm, the following bugs have been fixed:

Calendar

• Events created in your Google calendar—either in Calendar on your phone or in Google online—that contain a symbol or accented character in the event name can now synchronize. Previously, including a symbol or accented character in an event name prevented the event from synchronizing.
• Changes made to Google events on the phone now sync with Google online within a few minutes.
• The sync interval for Google events has been decreased from every few hours to every 15 minutes.

Clock

• If you create a weekday alarm on a weekend, the alarm sounds only on weekdays. Previously the alarm would sound on the weekend also.

Contacts

• Changes made to Google contacts on the phone now sync with Google online within a few minutes.
• The sync interval for Google contacts has been decreased from every few hours to every 15 minutes.

Email

• Power performance in areas where wireless coverage is sporadic or unavailable has been enhanced.
• Non-SSL Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) mail servers are now supported.

Other

• Miscellaneous updates for Email, Phone, and other applications.

Official Palm Pre Accessories

Official Palm Pre accessories are now listed in Palm’s online Store. Some of the accessories are actually in Sprint stores but they usually get sold out pretty fast. If you buy accessories costing $49 and up direct from Palm, they get shipped free. Offer is only for orders made on or before June 30, 2009.

Here are the notable accessories at the Palm Store (Palm, where is the car mount?). Let us know what you have and how you like them.
