Beyond that, the quality and ease of portability of that SDK is also going to affect my decision of which apps get ported, if any. Palm needed to be out in front of this so badly. They should have been emailing SDK invites to every iPhone developer that has support contact information in iTunes weeks before Pre launch. Now they are having me fill out a big form with all kinds of information for a 'chance' that I will get some 'early access'. Um, OK. The other smartphone manufacturers just seem to be stagnant in their understanding of the importance of their app stores, developer tools, and developer relationships.
