The Release Notes of the Palm webOS 1.2 recently leaked. Looking at the document, the Palm webOS 1.2 supposed to be available since September 8th. However just checked to the Sprint Palm Pre Support page as well as the official Palm Pre Support page and the update is not yet available. So seems like Palm need sometimes before it releases the stable version to the public.
