I would like to apologize to the Palm representatives (especially David
Fedor) for the vehemence of my response earlier today.  I now believe
that it was due to a misreading of a key phrase.

David said:

>A developer-oriented

Which I now believe should be written as "and we believe your software will
be compatible".  I had initially read that as something on the lines of "we
expect
you all now to hop to it and correct any incompatibilities there may be so
they
will work with these new devices that we just shipped without telling you".

The first reading is a statement of faith in their new product.  The second
(and the way I had read it) sounds more ... imperious and demanding.

I do -not- recant the basic gist of what I said -- and there have been
others
since posting similar positions.  But I do apologize for flying off the
handle
as I said it, and hope this explanation suffices to explain why I was so
upset.
