In English there's a saying that "you catch more flies with
honey than with vinegar", but let them try it.
Just to keep you all in the loop, today I submitted our
licensing proposal to Palm, Inc., which was ACK'd only
minutes later by their CEO, saying that David Nagel will
advise.
Let's keep fingers crossed.

I think they are seriously misguided; it's almost an act of
desperation, I'd say. I sent them a mail so that they know
what we are up to, but I haven't gotten any reply so far.
