Can't dismiss that possibility that this is a marketing stunt because the original source precentral has official blessings from sprint.

- mahmud 17y agoThought so too, but the "right buyer" requirement doesn't seem like a publicity stunt. They're trying to avoid early exposure of the device to large corporate buyers that: 1) have security procedures for mobile devices. 2) have specific business apps. 3) demand specific mobile features. 4) centrally allocate and distribute devices to employees. I think Palm lacks the infrastructure to accommodate large organizations at the moment, and is trying to avoid any negative reviews in the trade "CIO literature" until it has its house in order. For now Palm is happy to sell to the "Maverick" corporate employees who is free to plug any FCC approved device to office computer.
