Android for Pre likely, with or without Palm

In my article on Pre last week I mentioned that Palm would do well to investigate having an Android or Windows Mobile version. According to Engadget, if Palm does not put out an Android version, the hacker community might do it for them. Given that the processor in their phone is not a proprietary one it should be possible for

Is Pre enough to save Palm?

Palm's long awaited responce to it's rapidly disappearing market was finally released at CES. If you have not yet seen the details of the Pre listen to #442, or check out the Engadget wrap-up of the product. The product itself looks pretty good.
