Palm has released a new version of their operative system, made for the Palm Pre users. It is codenamed webOS 1.2 and this upgrade is already available for download at the Palm website.

The webOS 1.2 bring a few new features to their users:

- being able to buy songs via Amazon MP3 just by using the phone (no need for WiFi);
- being able to insert credit card information so it is stored in a Palm profile, along with your bookmarks and other data;
- new way to share link easily, with a push of a button;

Visit the Palm website for more details on webOS 1.2.

While Palm might have stopped the webOS 1.2 leakage, that doesn’t mean you can’t check out webOS 1.2 in action. The video above was made by one lucky webOS 1.2 owner. As you can see the new OS version will let you copy and paste both text and graphics. You can also save images and copy URLs now and the zoom features has been definitely improved. Search email is now available and I’m sure some of you have been requesting this feature a lot. And it looks like the LEDs in the gesture area could be enabled to offer notifications but you’d have to do it yourself (not included in the video above.)

What’s you experience with webOS 1.2? Have you installed it already on your Pre? Palm will probably release the new OS soon as they’re definitely getting ready to launch the App Catalog.

Samsung has recently announced an addition to their Pixon line of mobile handsets, the Pixon 12. The Pixon has been around for a while and has been known to feature high resolution cameras. And if you’ve been paying attention you’ll know that as far back as February Samsung was rumored to be working on a 12MP phone.

Well, the Pixon 12 takes this to a whole new level featuring a 12MP camera that Samsung seems very excited about saying it’s a world’s first. However, the camera’s resolution isn’t the only thing that makes this a beautiful handset as it also has a 3.1″ AMOLED touch screen with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, a fast-image saving feature with only 2 seconds of downtime between shots, an auto-focus feature, a 28mm wide angle lens and WiFi support.

Word has it the Pixon 12 will make its way to Europe in June and other regions sometime after.

We’ve seen the Mini 12 before. It’s a bigger Dell netbook. One I would actually use for my daily work. But is it going to be launched by Dell anytime soon? It looks like netbook lovers in Japan are going to see it coming soon.

The new 12-inch will get you either a 60GB or a 80GB HDD drive, and a choice of OS between XP, Vista or Ubuntu Linux. Would we want Windows Vista Basic in a netbook? After Japan, the Mini 12 is going to hit the USA by the end of November and it will cost late than $600.
