Interesting and i think it is a great idea. One look at some of their latest creations (email, photo, etc) show them making significant headway in this direction and HPalm's last big effort would point squarely at Facebook.
Perfect example would be when Palm's former developer relation team (Ben and Deon) took a very basic implementation of Facebook and made it one of the or the best Facebook client on any mobile platform. They wanted to contribute, build something different, enhance, and simply give it away to support the users and spur developer interaction.
They were also very specific in saying they don't plan to compete against the developer community (unlike Apple has done for years...sorry that walks and talks too much like iTunes for us to support it). Question comes to mind though, how do they create something, give it away, and still allow developers the option to making a living using it? I guess it would be somewhat like Music Remix that was extended significantly and soon to be released publicly for sale.
Thanks for the link, Sorli...
