an FM transmitter doesn't really excite me. I find the quality to be poor on those things. And, with most cars coming with USB/Analog Audio in (or options to easily upgrade), Palm might not be interested in adding this. IMO the device is plenty small already, I would save the room for more memory or a microSD slot.

I honestly love the way the pre looks. As soon as I saw the CES I was in love with this phone. Even now, I hold it in my hand and rotate it and am still very impressed with the asthetics. This is what I'd want:

-Perfect the construction/build quality.
-Have 32/64gb built in memory
-Make the charge/dock port easier to open, and maybe move it to the bottom
-Make the center button a scroll ball in addition to a center click
-Add a 'Tab' button
-Add a microSD slot
-Better camera with autofocus and video capabilities
-Compass for use with location aps etc...
-Enable the front screen to rotate 90 degrees while the keyboard is extended - thus enabling for typing in landscape mode.

That's really it. All my other gripes can be fixed with software updates.

I also agree 100% with neo's take on the time line on product prototypes. The same applys with automobiles. Did yall think they made next year's models over Christmas break?
