Installing Pre homebrew apps: now even easier

Installing Pre homebrew apps: now even easier.

If you needed a reason to prefer the Palm Pre over the iPhone and iPod Touch, the recent proliferation of homebrew software for the Pre should help. Aside from a removable battery and a keyboard, both of which the Apple products lack, the Pre will accept any software written using its OS, no matter where it comes from, even if it is the user's home office. Free and easy innovation and access. What a concept. I have a modest proposal for Apple and Palm. Apple should adjust its ads to say "There's An App for that, but only if we allow you to create it", and Palm should be saying: "If there is a need for an app, anyone in the world can buy an SDK and create it".
