Greetings,

The Pre is almost upon us - and despite the fact that I like a cool new toy as much as anyone else, I'm wondering whether it's worth making the change - recognizing that my smartphone is a tool for business and personal effectiveness.

It integrates with an enterprise Exchange server, so that's a start, and will apparently have an emulator for some specific PalmOS software. But there are tools that I use regularly that don't seem to have an equivalent on the Pre. Am I missing something?

These include:

- SplashID, used for encrypted password (etc), account info storage, which is then archived to the desktop via HotSync

- PDANet - used for occasionally tethering my laptop


Also - is there any vehicle for backing up any PalmOS apps used on the Pre?

At this point, I'm not yet convinced it's really 'worth' making the switch...

Any other thoughts?
