I'm very impressed with PR1.2 so far.

The Media Player widget works properly now, as does hovering over a link in MicroB to open the link in a new window.

I like the new virtual keyboard too.

I've also noticed that battery life is better, having lasted over a day and a half now, with fairly heavy usage, and it's still going. Yesterday morning, at 9am it was unplugged from the mains, and was used while I walked into uni, as I was listening to music - about 30mins of music. Then I sat outside the exam hall and did some last-minute revision for about an hour of glancing at Powerpoint presentations in Freoffice. Then the phone was off for 2hrs during my exam, and then it's been on again since. 30mins of music on the walk home from uni and then a few phone calls, texts and about 3 hours of browsing/youtube videos yesterday evening. I disabled the 3G radio over night and again I've used it about 2hours this morning, browsing the internet over wifi and a couple of texts sent. BatteryGraph says it's at 16% now. Pretty happy with that, much better than before.

I like the CTRL+SHIFT+R rotation in programs, although it's annoying that it doesn't remember that I've done that keypress next time I open the application. I'd love to find a way to enable it on an application and then it be like that permanently until disabled again - much like MicroB was in PR1.1.1 with the rotation shortcut.

Volume control while the phone is locked is also great, very glad to see that included.

Overall, pretty impressed so far. Shame to hear about other people having troubles with Flash though, that's a bit ****. If I think of anything else, I'll update here.
