Palm’s updated WebOS firmware, version 1.4.5, has now made it to three countries in Europe, via O2 in Germany, France and the UK.
However, there appears to be a bug in the software that causes the “media/internal drive to be marked as read-only for PDK applications,” says MobileBurn.
Despite the bug, Palm will continue a full European rollout of the update.
1.4.5 is expected to hit Bell in Canada in the upcoming weeks, also, while American fans are still waiting.
Says Palm, of the bug: “We’ve spent the last week attempting to address this issue in a way that would not require restarting the carrier certification process, but we’ve concluded that this is not possible. Restarting certification would delay 1.4.5 substantially and could result in some wireless operators not taking the update at all.”
In late April, HP announced it was purchasing the struggling smartphone maker Palm for $1.2 billion, including all patents, licenses, and the rights to WebOS.

Microsoft has made a statement saying that since they cut the price across the board for their Xbox 360 console, the system has been outselling its rival, the Sony PlayStation 3, by a two-to-one ratio.
Figures from Chart Track seem to back up that statement, saying sale are up 215 percent since the price cut was announced in Europe.
“This data shows that the Xbox 360 trajectory continues upwards, and not just in the UK,” added Chris Lewis, VP of Xbox in Europe.
“We’ve seen uplift in all countries in Europe and are confident that even at this rate of growth we can keep retail satisfied with a steady supply of consoles throughout the Christmas season.”
The company did not however, go into detailed units sales for the last month.
“Our commitment to continuously improving and innovating new content, our new high-profile marketing campaign and the fact that we’re now the best-value next-gen console on the market with an entry-level ERP of GBP 129.99 combine to make Xbox 360 the right blend of gaming and wider experiences at the right price to offer unparalleled entertainment for everyone. And these figures prove it,” finsished Lewis.
