Ouch. PalmSource will be much better off by trying to create an open-source community of developers around (what is essentially an open-source project) PODS to get more features for free for everybody than trying to make a few bucks more by closing up the development. Not to mention the moral debt that Palm has for all the open-source contributions that contributed to Palm's success (POSE, prc-tools, pilrc - those tools attracted untold numbers of developers to Palm platform).
