PR wars: Palm Pre could go on sale 24 hours before next gen iPhone unveiled
- ivankirigin 17y agoThis sounds like a horrible idea. I wouldn't buy the Pre knowing a better phone might be released the next day.
- chacha102 17y agoI doubt anyone would buy it on both the notion that the new iPhone might be released the next day, and the fact that you already know what to expect with a new version of the iPhone OS and Hardware wide. The Palm Pre is unknown to most people, so why would they waste their money if Apple is going to come out with something they know is going to be awesome.
- ivankirigin 17y agoIs there any info on new iphone hardware?
- rbanffy 17y agoI would advise them to go on sale at least a week ahead of WWDC. If they are too close and Apple launches an überphone, Apple would steal the attention Palm is aiming to get
- falsestprophet 17y agoI think both parties have a good understanding of the other's product well before hand. "Competitive intelligence" (aka industrial espionage) is business as usual in the technology and pharmaceutical industries.
- hapless 17y agoPalm is irrelevant. It doesn't matter when they schedule their launch: who's eagerly awaiting the next alternative-platform phone programmable only through javascript ?
- callahad 17y agoI am. Javascript (along with HTML and CSS) is the lingua franca of web UIs, and the browser is becoming the platform. Pushing that deeper into devices is a natural move.
