WebOS 1.2 already out?

**Finally Pre** · 09/04/2009, 05:26 PM

as far as space for apps and other files i'll go for the next update. Wish for text forwarding (business use), email deleat confirm, better copy paste, then the BIG ONES - video cam with video mail/texting and MOST OF ALL USB thumb drive comectability for app,picture,movie,file storage (might be more hardware then software). The next thing heard..Apple trolls screem. Is this the jist of what you all want or at least make you happy too?

Question...

You say you can copy/paste uneditable text from web pages, how about PDF's?

**Leathal** · 09/04/2009, 05:29 PM

Updated the OP a little bit with stuff discovered, let me know if I left anything out. I'm purposely leaving the actual 1.2 download out of the OP because people who know what the hell they're doing with leaked OS images are smart enough to search the thread.

Edit: Nope, doesn't look like you can select text in a pdf (and actually screwing around with the universal edit shortcuts (gesture+c) ended up crashing the app haha).

Does anyone has link to webOS 1.2 (webOS Doctor 1.2)?

**allergic** · 09/04/2009, 05:43 PM

Does a tap on the gesture bar + A = select all? (like tap + C, V, X work)

Why does that need confirmation? It's available to you in the Trash folder.

Only destructive and non-recoverable operations should ever require confirmation.

Can you check if a calendar event with an address will launch Google Maps? Does not currently do so. Thanks.

Hey cool another new feature:

Sounds like a solid update to me. My favorite points are the opening of pdf's in the browser, and a truly functional copy and paste. Now if they can just improve the overall speed of the device I'll be in heaven.

**jaime7073** · 09/04/2009, 05:59 PM

how about texting, any improvements?

1. Can you forward sms (text)?
2. Can you add/remove receiptients?

Yeah, but does it?

Same as 1.1, 1.0.

**allergic** · 09/04/2009, 06:04 PM

And sorry if this has been asked already (i think i've read everything in the thread), but can you copy-post non-editable text in applications OTHER THAN the browser? Specifically, in the email and messaging apps?

1. Doesn't look like it.
2. Send a text to multiple people at once? Sure can. Was that in 1.1, I've never tried.

Turned on GPS to try it out, but it still opened Google Maps for the directions.

Like I said, the device seems MUCH snappier even after I reinstalled all my old apps.
