Palm is beginning to automatically roll out WebOS 1.2 to Palm Pre users as of today, and promises that the full process will be completed over the next few days.

What changes are in store? Well, according to the Palm blog, lots of nice usability improvements plus a general upgrading of Enterprise and Email features…and some “cut and paste” flourishes.

Here are the highlights according to Palm…

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.

Gee, no word on repairing iTunes sync by pretending to be a short, chubby iPhone. What a shock.

Any Palm Pre users out there care to let us know of any other features or undocumented goodies they find in WebOS 1.2? Just comment away.
