Why the HELL would you want to HotSync the pre?
I used to have a Zire 31 and my Dad had a Tungsten T. That piece of crap software was the bane of both our existences and I was glad webOS shot it, and threw into the mass 5.0 grave. It never worked properly, couldn't support modern OS's (Vista or 7) and was just general crap.
So ya, why would I want it back?

Whether the emulator is truly useful is not the point - there are a huge number of Palm users that would love to have that backward compatibility regardless of whether they would use it for anything more than strolling down memory lane. So many companies make this mistake, whether we go back to the Amiga not having Commodore 64 compatibility or today with the PS3 (current models) not being compatible with the PS2.

But, there are two of you saying I am silly asking this question, so I admit that I must be wrong.
