webOS 1.2.1 lands, fixes Exchange and iTunes



http://www.precentral.net/sites/prec.../webOS-121.jpg
Less than a week after webOS 1.2.0 landed, Palm has started pushing out webOS 1.2.1 to Palm Pre owners nationwide. As rumored, webOS 1.2.1 fixes iTunes sync support, as well as fixing the seriously borked Exchange support that webOS 1.2 brought. The whole update weighs in at 38 MB and is available for download now through the Updates app on your phone. Palm's official (and brief) changelog is posted after the break.
Thanks to everybody that sent this in!
