I was around when the original Palm Pilot was introduced, and my memory (fallible, I'll admit) is that the development kit was not distributed until about 3 months after the device hit store shelves. And when we tried to use that first version it was far from perfect. The Pre hit shelves when,

Well, Luis seems to be upset that Palm seems to be favoring a few large developers by giving them a runaway lead in developing for the Pre, while us smalltime but feriously loyal developers, were completely IGNORED, with not even a glimpse or a passing mention. -- For information on using the
