The thing about Android OS is that it launched in a sort of half-baked form. The Android OS feature-set wasn’t yet complete, lacking support for homescreen widgets and an on-screen keyboard.

Leaked AT&T training docs point out Palm Pre’s flaws
AT&T is taking the upcoming Palm Pre’s launch quite seriously.
