Coming days earlier than we were told to expect it is Palm webOS 1.3.1. Weighing in at 126 MB, webOS 1.3.1 brings a number of under-the-hood changes to the webOS, as well as adding features like Yahoo support in Synergy. Also new in 1.3.1 are improved notifications for emails, a track scrubber in Music, text message forwarding, the ability to set a custom ringtone for text messages (see changelog for instructions), Google contact sync only now pulls from My Contacts instead of everything, Google Apps and Yahoo Small Business work with email, and you can now set a PIN lock timer.
