The recent update of WebOS 1.2.0 did not offer any new features to its users but did fix a list of bugs and several tweaks for optimized performance.

The tweaks and updates are related to Music, App Catalog, Bluetooth, Calendar, E-mail, Contacts, Media, etc… as you can see almost all aspects of the OS have been touched.

The webOS team is paying close attention to the the feedback received from the community and fixing the bugs quite promptly. Since its launch in June, Palm, has released 5 WebOS update which means a new update at a distance of about 20 days each.

Here is a list of important updates WebOS 1.2.0 offers..

Music from Amazon’s MP3 can now be purchased over your phone network and you do not need a WiFi connection.
The much awaited App Catalog is ready and now by entering your credit card information you can purchase apps. Also the Credit Card info would be stored on the Palm profile and not your phone. You can also download and re-install the application you used earlier for free from App Catalog without paying anything. You can share app information via email or text message with one button.
Contact transfers via Bluetooth has now been increased and it does notify and ask if you would like to transfer the call to the car kit instead of the call getting transferred automatically which used to happen earlier.
Several improvements made to the calendar such as changing the view, color, option of tapping the number and dialing it if the calendar note contains the phone number. By tapping snooze on a calendar event notification it no longer appears after the event and time.
