Actually the Pre has all the features the article is recommending for Android: Over-the-air calendar, contact, and email syncing through Google services; background-capable apps; and no centralized App Store under one company’s ironclad control. (OK, there's no app store at all, although precentral.net and others are already distributing homebrew apps that can be installed if you download Palm's SDK).

I wonder why Google isn't doing an App Store?

Did you mean to say "Palm" instead of "Google"? Android has the Android Market, which is like the App Store.

Palm has an app store, it's just devoid of content.
