The App Catalog needs an option to show installed apps that have updates available (like Apple's App Store has now).
All alert types should be controllable from one location. Right now, if I want to turn off audible e-mail alerts, but leave messaging alerts and the ringer audible, I have to go into the e-mail app menu, select the account, and turn off alerts from there. If I want to turn off e-mail alerts and messaging alerts while leaving the ringer on, then I have to go to the messaging app menu in addition to the e-mail app menu. These should all be individually controllable from the "Sounds & Ringtones" app.
There should be an option to customize alert sounds based on their source (one sound for e-mails, another for calendar alerts, etc.). An option to set a custom alert for messaging from a contact (just like custom ringtones now) would be good, too.

Update: Some of the hackers at the PreCentral.net forums have found that the capability to add launcher pages is already written to the OS, but is commented out. I wonder if they disabled it while they assess other "first release" bugs in the OS, and I assume they plan to enable it later.

If you can "root" your pre (instructions are in the same forums) you can uncomment the relevant lines and enable the feature.

Agreed. My old Palm III could scroll, had pages according to category, and a list mode. This is actually a step backward for Palm.

I'd like to be able to turn the display _off_ while it's on the Touchstone, like when I charge it with the cable - it dims on the Touchstone, but it's still too bright at night when I'm trying to get to sleep.

If you tap in the time slot you want the event to be in, it should create a new event. You can either type in information right away, or tap the (i) indicator for a more detailed entry.
