On a related note, two days ago I emailed the CEO’s of Verizon Wireless (my carrier) and Palm with my concerns about Palm not patching this bug. Today, I rec’d an email from a Palm VP inviting me to a phone conference on Monday or Tuesday of next week. I’ll let readers know if anything useful comes out of the phone conference.
