webOS 1.3.1 trickles out to European Pres
A Europe with a Yahoo-free webOS isn't a Europe we'd ever want to live in -- it's just not right -- and happily we won't have to, because that shiny new version 1.3.1 that dropped in concert with the Pixi launch a few days ago is on the way to the Old World. Palm's official blog reports that ...

T-Mobile USA putting out feelers for network partnerships?
