webOS 3.0.2 Changes

The first webOS 3 update for the HP TouchPad was released today. In addition to the official list of changes, I've noticed following:

Calendar

• All-day events are always shown, rather than being part of the scrolling midnight-to-midnight view.
• Much more responsive.

Clock

• The Clock now supports alarms.

Photos & Video

• Thumbnails are now larger, showing 3 photos and growing to 4 photos when the pane is maximized, rather than always showing four thumbnails and increasing whitespace when maximizing.

Maps

• Maps is now driven by Google Maps. Haha, kidding, it's still Bing.

Some miscellaneous things I'm hoping are now fixed:

• Messaging app would occasionally refuse to go online. Required reboot.
• Email app would sometimes show blank message bodies. Required relaunching app.
• Photos & Video was unable to play large video files. Initial test is not promising.

Only time will tell on some of those.

Oh, old and new user-agent string:

Anyway, three cheers to HP for pushing an update one month after the tablet's release! Let's keep the momentum going.
