that sounds like a chicken and egg thing. It's the 3rd party apps that make the Palm as functional as an all around unit as the iPhone or BB. The same 3rd party apps that sometimes get bundled with the phone. Surely the instabilities are because the third party developers have to hook into the OS to add features that are native to OS X and WM6. I'd say there was shared responsibility there. -- ============================== War Eagle
