What I want from Palm to improve the Pre

At a device level I want video recording. My ancient Mogul could do that, and the Pre has a much better camera.

As far as apps, I want an official Google Voice app, a word processor (Google Docs prehaps?), and more games. Why didn't WebOS ship with solitare?

The Pre is a good handset and WebOS is great. If Palm can give greater access to the hardware to allow for easier app development they'll take a huge step toward attracting developers.  If they can make the App Catalog easy to submit to and also have the approval process be transparent then they will have a potential leg up on the iPhone.

I know many tech people are really feeling Android, but WebOS has the potential to be a huge portion of the phone OS market.  There is plenty of room in the phone space, and Palm needs to up that market share.
