Palm Pre Banner On Best Buy
Posted on: Posted on May 7, 2009 2:58 PM
It looks like Best Buy will most certainly be getting the Palm Pre, as a bright yellow banner advertising the Palm Pre has appeared on Best Buy’s website. The banner appears when you search for keys like “pre” or “palm pre”, though unfortunately it doesn’t give any additional information. Bummer.

Palm Pre Launch On June 5th?
Posted on: Posted on May 7, 2009 2:54 PM
When exactly will the Palm Pre be launched? Well, there are already a few dates floating around, and now a new picture showing a Palm Pre “launch lunch” on June 5th has surfaced. Of course, some people might doubt the legitimacy of the leaked information, as there is a typo in “Employee Benfits”, though there have been cases where typos appear on legitimate documents. What do you think? True or false? Drop us a comment and let us know what you think.
HP Gets Former Palm Senior Director
Posted on: Posted on May 7, 2009 1:35 PM
Is HP looking to step up its smartphone offerings, and tackle Apple, RIM and HTC? Well, that might be what the company has in mind, especially since former Palm executive, Jonathan Oakes’, LinkedIn profile lists a most to HP’s Emerging Businesses Unit, which includes iPAQs and other mobile related things. Perhaps his arrival will spur some new things from HP, and we certainly wouldn’t mind some cool and new products from HP.
Palm Pre Official For Bell Canada
Posted on: Posted on May 7, 2009 10:40 AM
Folks over in Canada will certainly welcome the official news that the Palm Pre will be available on Bell Mobility. This is obviously a CDMA device, and it’s too bad that neither Bell nor Palm have announced the pricing on the Palm Pre over in Canada. In terms of features, the device is similar to the Palm Pre that is being offered by Sprint, complete with EV-DO, 320 x 480 display, GPS, Wi-Fi and QWERTY keyboard, all powered by Palm’s webOS.

Bell To Offer Palm Pre
Posted on: Posted on May 6, 2009 9:56 AM
We’ve been hearing so much about the Palm Pre being on Sprint over the past few weeks that it’s good to hear that Bell Mobility will also be offering the device over in Canada in the second half of 2009. The device will be a Bell Mobility exclusive over in Canada, and it will certainly be interesting to see how the device fares up north.
Sprint Employees Fired Over Palm Pre
Posted on: Posted on May 6, 2009 9:36 AM
We love to get news and leaks about upcoming products, but we’re always saddened when news comes out that employees have been fired for leaking information. Of course, leaking information isn’t the proper thing to do, especially when you’ve signed an NDA (non-disclosure agreement), but being fired does put the severity of the situation into perspective. It seems that Sprint has taken these drastic measures to three of its employees after they were talking about the highly anticipated Palm Pre outside of their workplace. We certainly would welcome more news of the Palm Pre, but hopefully it’s in a more cheerful tone in the future.
Palm To Ressurect The Foleo?
Posted on: Posted on May 4, 2009 11:44 AM
It seems like such a long time ago that the Palm Foleo was brought up, but now an analyst from Global Equities Research has dug it up again and suggested that Palm may actually resurrect the device to turn it into a $399 netbook which also integrated cellular wireless capability on board, thanks to Qualcomm’s GOBI chip which works with about all carriers. Palm hasn’t indicated anything regarding such a project just yet, but it certainly doesn’t seem to feasible for Palm to come out with such as device at this point in time.
Best Buy To Trial Launch Palm Pre

This isn’t an official report by any means, but word is going around the Internet that Best Buy will be getting a limited inventory of Palm Pre handsets for a trial launch, scheduled for June 7th.

Sprint To Get Palm Eos Too
Posted on: Posted on May 4, 2009 9:09 AM
We ran the news on the Palm Eos for AT a few days back, and now word is out that there might also be a CDMA version destined for Sprint’s network. According to the rumor, the device is currently being tested at Sprint, and should be available sometime in Q3 this year. Aside from its CDMA radio, it should be identical to the one that’s heading for AT&T.

Next Palm webOS Device Spotted?
Posted on: Posted on April 30, 2009 10:26 AM
It seems that BoyGenius has managed to uncover a (very) blurred pictre of what is supposedly Palm’s next webOS device, something that is supposedly similar to the Centro in terms of physical design. There isn’t any official confirmation or word on such the technical aspects of such a device just yet, but it is said to be gearing up for a “Fall” release date.
Palm Looking For Pre Reviewers
Posted on: Posted on April 30, 2009 9:47 AM
Want a free Palm device? Well, you could always be a non-professional reviewer for Palm, as the company is looking for folks to share their opinions about Palm phones. If you’re good enough to win the contest, you’ll receive a “Real Reviewer” title, along with a “current-model” Palm device, which is almost certainly a Palm Pre. If you’re a U.S. resident and want to enter the contest, you’ll can check it out online, and of course, remember that you need to be over 18.
Mini Palm Pre To Come?
Posted on: Posted on April 30, 2009 8:56 AM
We’ve already been through so many iPhone nano rumors that most of you probably think that there is already such a phone on sale. Well, in order to freshen things up, the rumor mill has come up with a mini Palm Pre rumor. There isn’t any technical information to backup this rumor just yet, but it’s supposedly aimed at the lower end of the market, if it’s true anyways. We’d certainly welcome a second webOS device.
More Palm webOS Screenshots
Posted on: Posted on April 29, 2009 10:21 AM
We know that you’re really looking forward to the Palm Pre’s official release, but as much as we’d like to, we can’t force Sprint to spit out the device any sooner than it wants to. In the meantime, a bunch of juicy Palm webOS screenshots have surfaced, and they’ll certainly serve as something to make you crave the Pre even more. The webOS pictured is an emulator running in Mac OS, in case you were wondering about the bars on top.

Palm Pre Costs $138 To Make?
Posted on: Posted on April 29, 2009 10:14 AM
iSuppli has always been the authority when it comes to calculating the cost of manufacturing mobile phones, and you have to admit that it has been pretty accurate. That being said, some do doubt how accurate the $138 price tag that it has slapped on the manufacturing of the Palm Pre, especially since they most likely didn’t have an actual unit to disassemble. Of course, going by iSuppli’s track record, the figures can’t be far wrong, and it looks like the Pre might actually be cheaper than the iPhone to manufacture, as the iPhone costs $174 per unit.

Palm Pre On June 7th?
Posted on: Posted on April 29, 2009 9:33 AM
Are you looking forward to the Palm Pre, much like every other Palm fan on the planet? Well, according to a freshly leaked document from Sprint, the device is slated to be released on June 7th, which isn’t all that far away. The official date stated by Palm is still the “first half of 2009”, which June will certainly fall under.
Palm Pre Multitasking
Posted on: Posted on April 27, 2009 11:29 AM
Was Apple right in not allowing the iPhone to run multiple applications? Well, a (supposedly authentic) leaked document reveals that the Palm Pre might actually have some issues with the device slowing down if too many applications are running. Of course, with the Cards method of switching between applications, it’s fairly simple to close programs that you don’t want. Regardless of its multitasking ability, the Palm pre is certainly one device that should be released as soon as possible.
Palm Pre As Low As $150?
Posted on: Posted on April 27, 2009 8:59 AM
Many folks have speculated over the possible pricing for the Palm Pre, and the fact that Sprint hasn’t released any official information related to that yet just keeps people guessing and speculating. Now we have Credit Suisse speculating that Sprint will be offering the Palm Pre for $150 (on contract, of course), and which put it in direct contention with Apple and its $199 iPhone 3G. Would such a move be successful in putting Palm back on the map? We certainly hope so, and look forward to seeing the device on retail shelves.
More Palm Pre Live Pictures
Posted on: Posted on April 23, 2009 6:48 PM
Can’t wait for the Palm Pre to be released? Well, you’ll have to be satisfied with more live pictures of the device which have surfaced online. There shouldn’t be any issue of the authenticity of these pictures, are other live shots of the device have already started circulating around the Internet.
