It’s getting down to crunch time for the Pre. Here are some tidbits from around the web. Seems that there is a lot of excitement around the pending launch.
Do we expect the “Real Reviewers” to get review units before the press? I would certainly hope not, but if we call those “Real Reviewers” beta testers, maybe. Anyhow, Engadget has a take on that and the rash of blog posts and tweets that are claiming ownership of a brand new Palm Pre. They also have a quote regarding the “Real Reviewers” from Palm…
We clearly said “we’ll provide you with a current-model phone and data-plan service for six months” and Pre only once it is available, we never said they would get early Pre units.
Yeah, that sums it up. Gizmodo ran a story the other day with a video of someone actually unboxing a Palm Pre and not just of some boxes like the other day. The problem with the Giz unboxing is that it was from January at CES. It looked like it took place in Palm Pre VIP Lounge that was open all week for those invited.
Are you interested in getting the Pre? I think it’s pretty hot, but I am not totally sold on it being Palm’s savior moving forward. Palm makes some great hardware, so I think it should do ok either way. BTW, who says that Palm can’t put WM 6.5 on the Pre hardware down the road? Anything is possible.
