That said, yes. Palm will have private APIs and privilege its own developers first. Consider the internal app team the alpha API users. This isn't a bad thing! As a customer, I'm more than willing to let the internal developers and people willing to hack into the internal APIs to find the problems with the API first, so that something sub-optimal doesn't become set in stone too early.
Public APIs have a way of sticking around, and I like to see companies get it right. Further, Palm's clearly communicating its stance.
I'm not seeing why it's a bad thing.
- jhancock 17y agoYour suggesting that when a person responds to a post by: 1 - beginning with "You miss the point" and ends with a derogatory "Should we go on? You missing the point of the article" 2 - 4 out of 5 of their points are Apple vs. Palm comparisons, completely immaterial to my original post. ...that somehow I'm the one flaming? Perhaps the point count to GandMasterBirt's post is attributable to others also inferring wildly into a post? Is that decent behavior? Does it make the content on HN better or worse? [EDIT] keep in mind that communities like slashdot once had a higher signal to noise ratio. People, like me for instance, don't go their anymore, because its all too common for rational discussion to be drowned out in a sea of fanboyism and offensive behavior.
