A “shock jock” by the name of Howard Stern is getting a Palm Pre before you will. Before us, even. Palm is going to give Sirius’ $500 million man an in-person hands-on, before whisking the phone away, back to Palm’s lair.
Palm’s doing this because, apparently, Stern is a big fan of theirs; the iPhone, with its lack of keyboard, is a no-go for the man. And, if Palm can get a little good press from Stern, well, all the better for them.
Considering the Pre is more or less Palm’s Hail Mary pass, you’d think they’d spread the love to other, prominent (or, according to Leno, the “most popular show in the history of satellite radio”) satellite radio shows.
In any event, if it works out, it could turn into some nice free advertising for Palm. Good luck, bro.
HooHoo Robin, I invented the mutli-touch interface.
Go back to being the one listener that 0.0 has
Hack radio
Bababooooweeee!!
I heard him talking about it the other day. I knew they’d do something for him… good stuff.
Still won’t be as sweet as my iPhone though…
I’ll only give a crap if he asks “so when can I get one for real” and they actually give him a date.
Other than that, why would anyone want to listen to someone play with a toy that you can’t actually have?
Kinda like “boy, this is the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted. Too bad you’re on a diet. Yep, you sure would like this ice cream, if only you could have it.” Sounds like fun.
Hey Now!
@gryphyn – Why are you reading a gadget site if you don’t like hearing about people play with toys you can’t get yet?
Good point, Kap. :)
I’m just sick of the Pre teasers. Release the phone already.
You really need to listen to the show.
He has not made a decision yet. He still evaluating the Pre, the iPhone, and the Blackberry.
BaBaBooey !!!!
Palm is smart and are doing the right thing
Well actually, he’s not getting a Pre before anyone else. He’s getting a private demo of the phone, but will not be able to get one until release date. Palm only has a prototype according to both themselves and Howard.
