Palm Centro Gets Minor Update On Sprint

Centro users might be perfectly happy with their current phone, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t have a firmware update. Palm has just released their latest firmware update for the Centros by Sprint. This update brings better Bluetooth support and also support for My Location on Google Maps, which should make it a popular add-on. The updating process says to “allow an hour”, so that might be an indication of the time it takes to update. The list of updates listed on Palm’s blog includes:

• Improved Gmail IMAP compatibility and an updated setup wizard with the new Gmail settings
