The point is its not the apps that matters, its the functions you'd like from these apps.

Yes, of course, but until apps are modular in a way that makes them easy to combine in various ways the apps will matter. Any interface that does away with apps before the apps have this kind of modularity is bad.

If the new palm's apps really have this kind of modularity, then that should be the big news, not the UI.
