Sprint’s Palm Pre just got a quick update to webOS version 1.3.1, which is essentially what the Palm Pixi will launch with. What’s new? Notable features include Yahoo! synchronization with calendars and contacts and some text messaging options including SMS ringtones and the ability to forward messages.

Engadget Mobile lists the full rundown of the features as:

* Yahoo! now appears as a Calendar/Contacts/instant messaging synchronization account.

* You can forward a text or multimedia message by tapping the message > Forward.

* A new option is available for restarting the phone: press and hold power > Power > Restart. The prior restart method (Device Info > Reset Options > Restart) is still available.

* Widescreen videos (including YouTube) now display in widescreen mode on the phone by default, instead of being cropped.

* If you tap to play a YouTube video embedded on a web page, the YouTube application launches and the video plays in the app.

* You can select a unique ringtone for new message alerts: Open Messaging > application menu > Preferences & Accounts > Sound > Ringtone.

* While listening to a song with album art displayed, you can tap the screen below the art to display a playback slider. Dragging the slider jumps forward or backward in the song.
