Sprint has posted the changelog for the forthcoming webOS 1.2 update, which inadvertently leaked last weekend via the system restore tool before being pulled.
The changelog lists the update availability date for today, but no users have reported being notified of an update on their device.
The update features the following fixes:

-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
Addresses the following issues:
-Capability has been added to dial phone numbers from a calendar notes field.

-Device will no longer reboot while attempting to download music when there was not available user memory.
-Real-time updates on Yahoo Finance now work properly.
-Sprint Navigation is now able to use free form addresses for navigation, including addresses from personal email accounts.
-PDF files can now be opened from a browser link.
-If the device receives a notification alert (for example an SMS), a clock alarm would not play unless the notification alert was dismissed.
-If a calendar event is snoozed then moved to a future time, the event notification will now appear at the proper time.
-When editing or creating a calendar event and toggling to another application before saving the event, the event will no longer be duplicated.
-On Google calendar, all day events that are changed to timed events on a computer are now properly updated.
-If a cancellation is received for an event and the user selects “Remove from Calendar”, the event is now removed from the device and desktop.
-If large attachments are sent in an e-mail, the e-mail is no longer sent twice.
-When setting email sync time to manual the device will no longer automatically sync the email accounts.
-Certain properties of tasks that can be set via the computer (but not displayed on the device) will no longer be deleted on the server.
-When two contacts were linked (one with a last name and one without) you will now be able to find them in SMS and email.
-Syncing issue with personal accounts has been resolved.
Hmmph… Good changes. Mostly bug fixes. I was hoping for some changes to the Text Messaging to allow sending to multiple contacts and forwarding.
I was wishfully thinking of Video in the camera. Ah well.
I was hoping for the Facebook app seen in the Pixi video.
You can already send text messages to multiple contacts… you can’t forward, but NEW texts can be sent to multiple contacts. A facebook app would be nice.
I was hopin for the ability too shoot videos and how to get your music from itunes on you phone cause with the new Itunes 9 you cant snc with it anymore and the facebook app and the ability to use more messenger types like yahoo and windows live
Ok so a work around that i found for yahoo messenger and windows live by looking for iphone compatible websites is http://www.meetbo.com You can open 2 web browser windows. One logged into Yahoo and one logged into Windows Live. Meetbo.com also supports many more IMing prgrams/sites. I does update automatically as long as your logged in. Tweaks are always an option to add a bit of the functions your wanting but remove them before the WebOS 1.2 update.
Also… mySpace already has a great mobile website for touch phones and for Facebook goto x.facebook.com….. ALSO correction to my post above the website for the IMing is Meebo not Meetbo. As more Iphone compatible website are created you should try them out. They are great on the Pre
