Just a couple of days ago we told you that Palm Pixi might come with webOS 1.3.1 on board when it hits the market. Well the Pixi is supposed to become official in the USA tomorrow but Palm webOS 1.3.1 is available already.

Palm has released the 1.3.1 update so you can now install it on your Palm Pre. The update is going to bring you some expected bug fixes but also some very interesting things like calendar and contact synchronization with Yahoo!'s web system, Yahoo! instant messaging support, Google Apps and Yahoo! Small Business Domain email address support.

According to Adobe, Flash 10.1 is coming to Palm webOS in the first half of 2010 although there aren't any specific launch dates at this point.

This isn't the first time we're suggesting that the Pixi is going to bring a new firmware version of Palm's webOS once it's going to be available from Sprint. The phone is supposed to be available starting with November 15 in Sprint stores. The Pixi will go for $99.99 after a $50 instant rebate and $100 mail-in rebate with a new contract.

webOS 1.3.1 has been rumored for a while now and from what we can see so far in the video below, the Pixi is definitely going to come with a new OS version. Unless Palm changes its mind and decides to postpone the new webOS for a while. There's no indication about Palm's intentions so far and we have no idea when Pre users will also get the new OS.
