webOS 1.2 now available
webOS 1.2.0 has just been released today. The big new features for the update include support for app purchases in the Catalog in addition to a ton of little fixes and improvements.
Here's a list of the changes from Palm:
- Search is now available in the email app, allowing you to find by subject, from, to, or CC fields (no message search yet).
- The web browser now supports cut, copy, and paste within a webpage (text only).
- Music purchases via Amazon can now be done over EV-DO. It's not clear if they mean that you can download the tracks, or just queue them (that would be lame, however). Anyone test this yet?
- A new gesture has been added which allows you to swipe down from the top of the screen to open the application or connection menu -- which should be a huge help to everyone missing those small targets!
- You can now download files from within the browser, and Palm has created an easy method to open a link in a new card.
Sadly though, those of you expecting this update to fix the iTunes syncing should brace for dissappointment.
