I don't care how long it takes to redo a "bugged update" it is never EVER good to release an update that has bugs in it. Don't believe me? Just ask the people who install Windows Update with bugs there were "supposed" to be fixed but weren't because of time constrainment issues. Palm shouldn't be copying Apple by rushing out products before they are tested and BUG-FREE. They only thing that gives them some credit was that they at least admitted their mistake, unlike Apple with their plausible deniability. Epic fail that they are going to release it anyways. Palm, shame on you!!!
