The SF Cartrain schedule can't be opened. There is a Palm OS version can't be opened either.

As a developer that signed up the first week the Early Access program was announced, and has been cooling his heels patiently since, I understand the frustration that leads folks to develop hacks for getting their apps installed. Please ramp up acceptance of developers the program (and if you see my name on the list, feel free to move it up), and then the acceptance of apps, much faster than you've been doing so far. :-) I appreciate the reason for the fast lock-down, as it is certainly a security hole, but the demand is there to get more 3rd party apps in the pipeline.

In addition to fixing the security hole, you need to immediately provide a way to bring things like the notification app to people that want it.

Apple would have just disguised the update as a new feature or would have bundled a cool new feature with the update. It is posts like this that show great promise for the webOS platform.
