I have had multiple WinMo and Linux devices and there are apps from my old Palm days that I still miss. While the TRGPro was my workhorse, the most beautiful PDA I ever owned was the Sony Clie. I wish I hadn't sold it to get an Axim. I even had both Kyocera Palm phones. They were bricks but useful from day one - unlike the brick, I mean phone (*cough* G1 *cough*) sitting on my desk right now. I think the fact that the Pre included a Palm emulator shows that the company knew it would keep some customers who might have otherwise gravitated to other phones. I'm not in the medical field but Palm still has the most applications there. If I had expensive custom software like that, the Pre would be a no-brainer. I think the day the Pre is available in the US for GSM networks will be a bad day for Android.
