Palm Pre for $200, Coming June 6th
Aw… I loved my Palm Pilot. It helped me keep track of notes and schedules, kept a thesaurus, important papers, presentations, contact lists and so many other nifty items that helped me through college. It was power packed with everything I needed. And the Treo was even better.
Enter the Palm Pre with both touchscreen and keyboard, officials (Palm and the Los Angeles Times) just this morning confirmed the Palm Pre would be available at stores like Best Buy, RadioShack, Wal-Mart, Sprint stores and online June 6.
Your cost? $199.99 (after a mail-in rebate) and two-year service agreement… of course.
The Touchstone-compatible, webOS-based phone allows the user to run more than one app at once and “continuously updates multiple applications in real time.”
From the Los Angeles Times: “Pre consolidates your important information – professional, social and personal – into one revolutionary device using an operating system that redefines the experience of living and working wirelessly,” Sprint said in the release this morning.
I’m kind of excited!
I mean, up to now it was all about the iPhone. But I could be converted… I guess it depends on the availability of apps and the actual usability.
So, anyone want to send me one to test out? Sprint? Palm? C’mon!
