I am a little disappointed though that alot of members have seemed to jump ship.....but most are probably those that crave the newest, latest and greatest at every given moment, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm good for my two years.........when the time comes, I'll make another decision!
You are right - there are those, as you describe above, who jump ship because they crave the newest, latest........but there are other reasons. At the end of my year I am considering leaving the Pre (although I love it) not because of what is new but because of what is old no longer works on the Pre. I came to the Pre expecting it to carry apps it used to have (remember the initial broadcast where all the Pre's partners were listed behind the speakers?) but I don't see them. Because of Palm's delicate financial situation they are liable to fall out of the market any day - if that happens what happens to me? I think a willingness to wait a year shows loyalty to Palm and a desire to give them a chance to get it right. In other words - I am more concerned about Palm possibly leaving me.
