Whenever I hear about technology-dependent projects that last for YEARS, I always wonder how the creators feel about (and deal with) the fact that the technology they used at the beginning of the project may be outdated by the end of it.
From what I understand, WebOS and the Pre have been in development for a couple years or so. Maybe the release date secrecy is due to Palm's efforts to include the latest hip, new technology - the kind of thing that will take them from the "cutting edge" to the "bleeding edge."
Twitter's been around for a little while, but has become much more popular in recent months. Maybe that's one of multiple items they're trying to incorporate into this platform and device before launch.
What do you think?
