</div>You're comparing apples with oranges. The Palm Pre already has a<br>
complete PIM etc. as well as a suite of other finished apps right out<br>
of the box, and is intended specifically for consumers, not<br>
developers. Therefore, it will sell and is useful right out of the<br>
box. That is in sharp contrast to a device that needs to have a stable<br>
SDK well before its release in order to generate hype with the<br>
developers who will be buying it.<br>

Also, Mark is once again doing his famous argument which is bring up one thing and then ignore it later. He says the IT is not for the end user and only for developers, then complains that it does not have a mature and robust PIM system (something I have yet to be convinced that it needs, but that is another discussion).<br>
