they aren't catching up now, they were this time last year. right now they have one of the hottest devices, with an industry leading OS that has set a new bar for smartphones in the area of multitasking.
whatever is put in place, I would guess that it will be based in part on google maps and such, and will probably be open for developers, who, if we know anything, will rock hard to make it work for palm.
in other words, it is the infratructure that will be developed to make the tech useful, and that will probably be a more universal database type, which palm can plug into.
