It has been recently pointed out to me that Palm had in fact issued its development kit much sooner than I had noted. This makes the Pre look even worse - rather than suffering from a lack of software kits, the Pre appears to have been a victim of a LACK of INTEREST.

I have to thank this independent consultant who brought this to my attention.  My reason for the Pre's failure gave Palm some credit for creativity and consumer interest now I can only think the worse.
