Palm Pre does it again, this time worse than before
What are they thinking? Another Palm Pre ad hit’s the airwaves, and this time it’s even more bizarre than the last one. Who is behind this marketing and what sort of drugs are they taking? I understand the “artistic” vibe they are going for, but they are way off mark. Check out this awful thing for yourself.
Yet another Palm Pre Review
For a while it seemed as if cell phone makers thought there were only two sorts of smartphone consumers; those who like touch-screen and those who prefer a QWERTY keyboard. They were neglecting those of us who prefer to have it all. The Palm Pre already had that concept with the Palm Centro but that phone, in no way, could compete with the “all-mighty” iPhone. Things didn’t look that good for Palm for a while ago but things didn’t look quite good for Apple before the iPhone. Some will argue that the iPhone saved Apple and many will say that the Palm Pre will save Palm. Whichever’s the case, we can all say that the Palm Pre helped save us from an iPhone dominated smartphone world.
The Pre comes with a new Linux based operating system dubbed, WebOS. Switching between applications on the screen is as easy as switching cards in your hand and so the coined term “cards” is used to name that feature. The feature called Synergy is also a great feature that allows the Palm to stand up confidently alongside the iPhone. However, just like the iPhone, carrying it around makes you worry about breaking with one little, “oops.” Maybe it’s just the thought of having something of this magnitude in our hand. You better have insurance on this one, buddy. The Price, after rebate and contract with Sprint, is $199. (…Read Some More…)
Verizon Customers Don’t Pee Your Pants, You’re Getting the Palm Pre
Verizon Wireless has apparently confirmed, according to Yahoo!, that it will be getting the Palm Pre sometime in early 2010. Naturally, there are no exact dates or prices. Those tricky phone carriers like to build up the tension. For Verizon subscribers, the release of that tension will be as enjoyable as letting the buckle go on the belt after Thanks Giving.
I just wonder why does AT&T get the exclusive with the iPhone but Sprint is only able to hold on for a measily year? Perhaps Pre’s financial troubles it had gotten into forces them into a more broader market for the Pre. That’s okay with me. I’m a Verizon Customer. I was going to update my phone for nursing school but now I think I’ll wait and use the ‘ol pharmacology book instead of a smartphone…until the Pre comes out anyway.
