From the Palm Blog.
For starters, we’ve beefed up Palm Synergy to include LinkedIn contact syncing. Info from LinkedIn profiles (like job titles) will now appear in your Palm Pre contacts. The new update also facilitates links across more different flavors of IM contacts. Business-oriented webOS 1.2 customers will also appreciate support for heterogeneous EAS policies (for workplaces with a mix of end-users in which some accounts support EAS policies and others don’t).
And we heard your feedback on a number of topics loud and clear:
* We know you love email — and you’ll really love the ability to filter the emails in the current folder just by typing a search term.
* You asked for the ability to download files in the browser — and now you’ve got it.
* Music fans will be glad to hear that the Amazon MP3 Store can now download songs from either WiFi or WAN.
* You can now tap a phone number in a calendar note to dial it (so you can get to the joy of music-on-hold for your conference calls even faster!).
* Pause a podcast and, by default, you’ll pick up where you left off when you unpause.
* Web pages and emails are now cut-and-paste-able.
You can expect an automatic over-the-air update to webOS 1.2 over the next few days, and you can find more info on the update in the release notes on the Palm website (link above).
Let us know your thoughts on this update in the comment section.
UPDATE: It seems Palm has released 1.2.1 which brings back iTunes syncing. It will be interesting to see if Apple fires back with a new version of iTunes.

One of the advertising networks that we work with has contacted me and asked if I could publish a survey. This survey will generate more information about the SU readership, which will in turn help us generate higher ad revenues and result in more content for you, the reader. The responses are kept completely anonymous and the results are only published in aggregate (not publicly).
I know that you all are busy, but the survey will take around 3-5 minutes – and at the end there is a drawing for $100 VISA gift card (that can be used anywhere in the world). To take the survey, please click on the following link: SURVEY LINK

The amount is a cool $10.6bn. So far, the bid is just a thought and no definitive agreements have been made. This is still in the works but the implications would be huge!
