earlier today i had zero homebrew apps installed and 12 official apps. I still got the memory error. They can blame homebrew all they want. It's not homebrew's fault.

This is just a guess, but Id hazard that having a dedicated partition for app installs makes the multi-tasking easier/faster?

and honestly. what does it matter to me that it has the word "beta" stamped on it? Not a thing. From the user perspective it works or it doesn't. period. i'm not a beta tester. that it says beta make zero difference.

Really i don't think it matters. 4 months is a long time. I like my pre but but i'm not a f*nbboy of any product. And neither are the friends i have with Pre's. They'll go to another phone if it suits them. And if aPre experience turns sour, they will just go to another phone. Hell i left sprint cause the experience sucked and it took them 12 years for me to come back. And really it was Palm that got me back not Sprint. Wasn't my fault it was Sprint's. And Palm should pay attention to that lesson. The warning signs are their they just need to be in front of it and honestly it's been a known issue for two months. They've had two updates in the last two weeks and neither addressed the issue. I've heard no statement from palm saying, "Hey we know it. We are on it. It will be fixed in a week." Which would end virtually all issues they have with people constantly bringing this issue up. They can make a good O.S. and a good product but they can't skimp on the customer support on this issue. It's hurt many other companies before them most notably the very company that is their carrier. They could use some help in keeping customer's informed. Palm isn't yet a brand with so much loyalty that they fail on this issue.
