Friday, May 22, 2009
Wow, what an admittedly lame headline, but what can ya do, it’s Friday. BoyGeniusReport chimes in with a pair of reports that make the phrase “shortage of Palm Pre’s” seem like a gross understatement. We’ve been told that there are only roughly 4,250 Palm Pres that Best Buy stores will be receiving for launch day on June […]

Sprint CEO Dan Hesse, who you might remember from those black and white Spring commercials, recently had this to say about his company’s advertising efforts, or lack thereof, regarding the upcoming Palm Pre. We don’t intend to advertise it heavily early on because we think we are going to have shortages for a while. We […]

Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Isn’t it funny how people craft all sorts of fancy graphs depicting the supposed real cost of the iPhone over the lifespan of a 2 year contract, but the fact that you’ll have to shell out $300 bucks to get the Palm Pre has flown under the radar? Sure, there’s a $100 mail-in rebate, but […]

Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Sprint announcedtoday that the Palm Pre will hit store shelves on June 6 for $199, after a $100 rebate. So consumers will really have to shell out $299, and then wait faithfully for their $100 rebate to come in the mail. Rebates suck, but apparently Palm really had to do whatever it could to make the […]

Saturday, May 2, 2009
A forum member over at EverythingPre was able to get his hands on a Palm Pre through a buddy of his who received a review unit. While clearly not a substitute for an in-depth review, it seems that the Pre is a worthy effort, but won’t be challenging the iPhone anytime soon. Here are his […]

Wednesday, April 29, 2009
We still have no clue as to when the Palm Pre is exactly gonna drop, but we do know that it’ll be sometime before the end of June. Now, PalmWebOS Blog is reporting, citing a contact who works at Sprint headquarters, that “the pressure to release the device quickly is unbelievable”, and that the new […]

Tuesday, April 28, 2009
With April nearly over, the rumored May 16th launch date for the Palm Pre seems extremely unlikely, if not downright impossible. But as things go in tech, when one rumor heads to the grave, another one comes in through the front door. Now, new evidence is pointing to a June 7th release date for the […]

Wednesday, April 22, 2009
The Palm Pre, and perhaps rightfully so, is being hyped as the first true competitor to the iPhone. In anticipation of the Pre’s release, an internal AT&T talking points memo has leaked which points out some of the Pre’s flaws relative to the iPhone. The Pre, of course, will be exclusive to Sprint and not […]
Continue reading...Quick thought on Palm Pre Cards.. and why it looks so familiar
Friday, April 17, 2009
Video footage of the Palm Pre looks great. There’s no getting around it. One of the Pre’s most often-cited and touted features is its use of ‘Cards’ to navigate between applications. While certainly a cool feature, is it really any different than the way you navigate between Safari windows on the iPhone? I only mention […]

Wednesday, April 15, 2009
The Palm Pre created a huge splash when it was unveiled at CES earlier this year. At last, people thought, a worthy competitor to the iPhone was upon us. The Pre, of course, is scheduled for a release sometime in the second quarter of ’09. This means a late June launch at the latest, and […]
