There is some serious potential litigation in store for Palm re Pre; Apple has already rattled its sabre a bit - it involves Palm's use of Apple's heavily protected multi-touch family of patents. Google already, according to reports, backed multi-touch out of Android OS.
The Pre has not even been released yet, so I can't now imagine it putting any pressure on Apple to do anything, IMHO.
I think the next iPhone firmware will provision for some apps to run in the background, based on what I have read.
Pre sounds like a great phone and I hope it can provide legitimate competition to iPhone and the Android OS.
FWIW.
