Palm made the mistake of not realizing fanfare isn't the same as distribution. Touchpads are going to be available at Amazon.com, HP.com, BestBuy, Walmart, Sam's Club, OfficeMax and several others within two weeks of launch, not to mention the international push. The Pre was stuck on the nation's 3rd largest network for like 6 months. It really had no chance of competing with current offerings on AT&T and Verizon being that old.
- jimmyk 15y agoYup, and it took me over two months to get a Pre after it came out. And I was the first to get one from that Sprint store.
- Killah911 15y agoThat's a valid point. It'll be an interesting case study, if it does indeed meet with some success. However, there are already other Android based tablets out there (Best Buy/CompUSA) which have had lackluster sales. Are they really banking on distribution channel being the key differrentiator? (yes, I know... WebOS too)
