The upcoming Palm webOS firmware (1.2) has been leaked to the Interwebs. We don’t have all the details, but we’ve heard/seen hell of a lot. Here’s what we know:
- Zoom animation in the browser;
- A new menu options – Edit, Select All;
- Tap and select portions of a web page by holding Shift and tapping the screen;
- Tap and hold the Orange button to save a photo to Pictures or to share it with others. The same button can be used for opening of a new card or to copy and/or share a link;
- Tapping a text entry box zooms it;
- Type to find within the email app;
- Audio clock alarm can be enabled even when the ringer switch is off;
- Tasks are sortable by due date and priority;
- App Catalog supports credit card information storage;
- Location can be found via GPS or Google Services.
Release date of the new firmware is unknown at this stage, but things seem kinda ready-ish, so I guess we won’t have to wait for long. The video demoing the latest/upcoming webOS version follows after the jump. Enjoy!
