Palm should be making their own software, why should they get to use another companies product, thus having to spend zero dollars of company money. How is that ok.
And why should other companies get to use the phone infrastructure setup long ago by other companies is just one example? Why should one company get to restrict third company/third person apps? Palm wasn't going to do anything about having their vast amount of old apps work on the Pre. But with Classic by Motion Apps you can do just that. Palm didn't step in and stop them. There are so many apps out there that work better than what the companies provide. If they don't want to let them in then hey I have no problem whatsoever with them hacking their way in.

This BS world where I can't get the cellphone plan I would want even though it's available in other countries is bogus so I don't own one. Or cable having the ability to force me to buy stations I don't even want because they have the market cornered. Just a couple of examples. Anyone working to give me what I want is good in my books. Quasi-legal -- whatever.
