The Palm Pre Will Be an iPhone Killer
- tsally 18y agoI'm just happy that Palm has been around for long enough to have a large enough patent portfolio to allow them to innovate. Without that, I'm not sure something like the Palm Pre would have a chance.
- silentOpen 18y agoWhat a sad commentary on the state of our "intellectual property" laws. The USA needs to make some major IP reforms if it doesn't want to get trounced in the tech sector.
- grinich 18y agoThe iPhone has been out for nearly two years now. Besides from a mild software and hardware update, it largely is the same product. In those two years, I don't think Apple's engineers have just been sitting around. This phone may in fact be an "iPhone killer" but I think the iPhone is showing its age already. It's being duplicated all over the place. WWDC is going to bring something entirely new, and I'm not just talking about cell phones.
- ahoyhere 18y agoIt's true, Palms have a solid 8 or 9 years of being The "It" Product that every kid wants and every adult can't help but buy! So many cool people own multiple Palms and have pledged to buy every new Palm that comes out... plus those rocker ads are really snazzy, brilliant on Palm's part, their name is practically synonymous with "cool." Or not. I wish people would pause, think, and learn from the fact that every "X Killer" fails to kill X, at least where X is a well-branded, well-positioned product with a history and a devoted customer base. Palm, as a company, is just one big fat mistake after another.
