Being a gadget fan and an ex-Sprint-Nextel representative, I was kinda hyped-up with Sprint-Nextel’s unveiling of its new product – The Palm Inc’s Pre or widely known as the Palm Pre. This new smart-phone, I believe, is Palm’s strategy to scratch back their lost Market share to Apple’s iPhone and the Blackberry.
In the past few weeks that I have been monitoring the web about this new smart-phone, it has received great reviews. I even read that Palm Pre is considered a fundamental product for both Sprint-Nextel and Palm Inc.
My friends from the states told me that crowds were gathered over at Sprint Stores early Saturday morning, June 06, 2009. Despite the economic turndown most people are still investing into new gadgets. Great marketing strategy from both Sprint-Nextel and Palm, I’d say.
It was said that the newly released Palm Pre was the most talked about gadget during January’s Consumer Electronic Show. The Palm Pre is currently running the new webOS Operating System. It has been said as well that the new platform for mobile has been in the works since June 2007.
Sprint-Nextel’s venture on the Palm Pre could win back customers who defected to rival networks such as AT&T and Verizon Wireless.
Unlike the iPhone, Palm Pre’s tiny keyboard may capture consumers who find it hard to type a text into its virtual touchscreen keypads. Another major difference, between the Pre and iPhone, is Pre can run multiple applications concurrently and switch on them easily.
So what do you think?
