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).
