Dave,

I have a report suggesting that the Palm Pre is "surreptitiously"
sending GPS location data, app usage information, and perhaps other
data to Palm servers.  I would appreciate it very much if interested
Pre users would check out the report at: http://bit.ly/gNt9S and let
me know if they can see similar effects (or not!)  E-mailed reports to
lauren@vortex.com or via Twitter @laurenweinstein are fine for this.
Thanks.
