Lack of cross platform software, Like itunes? Like Safari? Like Quicktime? Like bonjour? The problem with that logic is that to code for the pre you have to learn a completely new language compared to the original palm. The iphones objective C is way closer than html/ajax/javascript/css to the language the original palms used. hey frosty, I noticed a few problems.

And Apple has always watched everything aggressively, which is why there has always been such a lack of cross-platform software for their products. If you have never checked, people have been coding "apps" for the Palm platforms for many many years. There is a huge following of people in line to write new apps for the Pre. • The Pre syncs with iTunes, which leaves it completely vulnerable to being shut-out by Apple
