Last week, mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless announced officially plans to push out a new software update for one of the most appealing devices on its airwaves, the DROID Incredible by HTC, and the operator already started to deploy it on handsets. One of the main enhancements the new software solution is bringing into the mix is access to V CAST Apps, the application portal that offers carrier billing for Verizon's customers.

“Enjoy improved performance with these OS enhancements. Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update for your Droid Incredible by HTC. The HTC (3.26.605.1/Baseband Version: 2.15.00.07.28) update includes numerous enhancements and improvements,” Verizon notes.

The new software update weighs in at 18MB. It should be delivered over the air to all DROID Incredible users out there during the next few days.

Here's what the new software update brings:

- Updated Flash Player includes security enhancements. - Visual Voice Mail Wi-Fi improvements include removal of incorrect service messages and post-call notifications. - Enhanced support for Yahoo! IMAP email. - Updated Slacker application. - Attach files larger than 5 MB. - Updated COX POP3 email settings. - Play YouTube videos in YouTube application. - Seamlessly switch between portrait and landscape views in Google Maps. - Updated Comcast POP3 email settings. - Search key and other buttons displayed in correct order.

Of course, there is also the pre-installed V CAST Apps, through which users will be able to find, download and install more applications, in addition to those available via the Android Market.

“Preinstalled V CAST Apps lets users purchase applications directly from their devices and bill them to a Verizon Wireless account,” the wireless carrier notes on the matter.

For what it's worth, the new solution is only a minor update for the DROID Incredible, and the above listed improvements point exactly in this direction.
