webOS 1.2.1 Brings Back iTunes Syncing to the Pre If you own a Palm Pre you're already familiar with the Palm vs Apple conflict when it comes to iTunes usage. Every once in a while iTunes syncing stops working on the Pre but Palm always finds a solution to bring that functionality back to its flagship phone.

After webOS 1.2 we have a new firmware update already. Version 1.2.1 will offer you iTunes syncing which means you'll be able to enjoy your iTunes songs at least until Apple bring about a new iTunes version. Or you could always switch to a different music provider in order to avoid these regular problems.

Besides iTunes syncing, webOS 1.2.1 also fixes one error that came with 1.2. Exchange 2007 is working again. You can synchronize with your Exchange account for Email, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks.

And here's the full changelog of webOS 1.2.1:

Email

* Resolved an issue where after installing the 1.2.0 webOS update some customers running Exchange 2007 could no longer synchronize with their Exchange account for Email, Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks.

System

* Resolves an issue preventing media sync from working with latest version of iTunes (9.0.1).
* Media sync now synchronizes photo albums, maintaining the album structure in the Photos app.
* Media sync now allows for synchronizing photos without requiring the full-resolution originals. This provides faster display of high-quality full-screen images and enables users to store more photos on the phone.

Web

* Resolved an issue where if a user tried to play streaming music or video, the media stream might drop out or have a long delay before starting.

Security
