Agree. I hope they don't get used to WebOS the way it is, though, and neglect to add back in all the things it doesn't have that the Treo/Centro had - quick text and emoticons in the SMS app, categories (or tags), more configurable sounds and alerts, calendar entry text wrapping on the main calendar screen and editable in place, etc. etc.. Yes, we can get along without them, but we'd be better off with them.
Outlook 2010 still has deficiencies that were present in Outlook 97, largely because everyone is used to them, including the developers. It would still be better if they were addressed, and I keep hoping. Keep going Palm - no ossification of features in WebOS, ever! Video and Flash will be great, but don't lose sight of configurability and all the nice little touches in PalmOS, BlackberryOS, etc.!

That said, if Palm's history of frequent updates continues (as I expect it will), we'll most likely see improvements to core apps in the near future. Of course, there's nothing stopping a 3rd-party dev from creating a kick-ass webOS email app. Oh, Snappermail, where are you now??
