I worked on one of the applications that launched with the Pre; using the Pre has scraped most of the luster off the iPhone experience. I now despise being kicked out of applications when I want to share content. Palm has launched a product that totally hits Apple in, what Julie describe as, their Achilles heel.
Nasir, as you probably know, applications within the Pre are developed using WebOS (read: html), so any developer worth her salt, should be able to quickly get up to speed to iterate and develop applications. The Pre is not even comparable to Android in that, like the iPhone, there are UI standards and elegant built-in transitions. The multi-tasking/background capabilities of the Pre acknowledge and reward the kind of tweet-writing, article-sharing, sms-addicted, multi-address book mobile users we have become. And yes, it's only a matter of time until they open their platform. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
