webOS firmware 1.2.0 from Sprint

Sprint looks all set to release webOS firmware 1.2.0 for the masses, where some of the updates and enhancements will include :-

• Enhanced copy feature added to browser and email (shift key + tap and drag to select text).
• Improved global search to catch synonyms. For example, “Movies” brings up YouTube and Videos.
• Send/Receive vCards via the contacts application (tap left menu drop down)
• LinkedIn enhancements
• Filter search in email
• Bluetooth for expanded car-kit support
• Improved auto-linking of contacts
• Save inline images in email
• Resume support for podcasts and long songs
• Download files in browser
• Backup/Restore of web browser bookmarks
• Support Amazon MP3 over WAN (not just WiFi)
• Photo Albums sync via Media Sync

Apart from that, a slew of issues have also been addressed including the ability to dial phone numbers from a calendar notes field, doing away with the need to reboot whenever you want to download music with insufficient user memory, correct real-time updates on Yahoo Finance and the ability to open PDF files from a browser link among numerous others. Remember, always make a backup before you attempt any firmware update, official or not.
