Some webOS PDK apps still having trouble in Sprint's 1.4.5 release

Palm changed some system permissions in PDK-powered apps with the release of webOS 1.4.5 to prevent third-party apps from writing to the /media/internal partition of the phone's storage, which is all well and good — except for the fact that a number of existing apps use it, which means they're unable to save data post-upgrade. Amazingly, Palm went ahead with the first US rollout on Sprint a month later anyhow, even though not all apps are kosher with the change yet. Good thing the dev community is all over it, then, right? The so-called "Emergency Fstab Fixer" is being recommended for installation via Preware as soon as the 1.4.5 update finishes, which should get you back in the game (quite literally) until Palm gets around to rolling out a patch. It's alright, though, Palm — if you're hard at work on webOS 2.0, we don't want to take you out of the zone. Seriously.
