Still no source code for the European Palm Pre

,----[ Quote ]
| From this week, Palm's Pre smartphone is being 
| made available in the UK and Germany. 
| Telefonica subsidiary O2 is selling the device 
| both on and off contract. The Pre runs Linux 
| and, as well as a version of the 2.6 kernel 
| spruced up by Palm with a raft of patches, 
| includes all the usual suspects, such as 
| BusyBox and the Gstreamer framework for 
| playing audio and video with an ALSA back end.
