It would be great to see other companies step up and force Apple to bend to the will of the people. The competition and capitalism usually expands the capabilities of technology. In the meantime I will keep providing high quality iphone cases to the masses! Thanks for the great article!

If Apple will not bother to field questions at a conference where developers pay $1300 each specifically for access to Apple personnel ( http://tinyurl.com/mq9qkr ), they are not about to create a Community Developer Manager.

Though, Apple did open source parts of Grand Central today…

Palm is in the first 6 months of a new phone. Its sort of a make or break item for them.

Even if born of desperation (and its not that desperate over at Palm, their main business is licensing chipsets), this is a welcome change not seen much these from corporate types.

The exceptions being Open Source companies like Novell, Canonical and Red Hat, (and surprisingly, even Microsoft product developers from certain areas). Even then, you have to go to their boards and post, they don't come to yours. Kudos to PreCentral!

One would hope he was well received, and someone was there from PreCentral to keep the 15 year olds in check to keep it from becoming a b*tch-fest.

Go to Apple's board and ask any pointed questions and you get smacked-down in short order. (Mostly by the fanboys).

The approach is refreshing, and I hope it continues.

Then again Palm’s stock is on the decline, sales are below expectation and the Pixie launch was widly criticized. So, who know how much longer this charm offensive will last considering that the company is under a great deal of pressure from Apple, RIM and now Google. Anyone else see them a distant 4th or 5th after seeing recent releases from Nokia and Motorola?
