Happy Christmas to all of you Europeans! Palm has announced that you will be getting the Pre in Spain on Telefónica’s Movistar network and in the UK, Ireland and Germany on Telefónica’s O2 network. This release is said to be ready for the holiday season. By then you should have a much better selection of apps from the app catalog as well.Via Palm
Sprint has a new ad directed straight at iPhone customers. The Ad talks about why the Pre is better than the iPhone and goes into some detail about it.
Your iPhone contract is up. Perfect timing.
The Palm Pre does things the iPhone can’t. Run multiple applications at the same time with real-time updates and even save $1200 over two years. It’s the perfect time to join the Now Network America’s most dependable 3G network, bringing up the first and only wireless 4G network from a national carrier.
Hey it works for me and I bet it gets a few of AT&T’s customers away from the iPhone and onto a Pre.
Learning everything about a phone like the Pre can be a daunting task. I still discover new tricks everyday messing around with mine. If you’re like me and have a problem you need a solution right NOW. Well, I have a solution for you. Sprint kindly has created an
online tutorial with easy step-by-step instructions for all your needs alongside a virtual Pre, which shows you what to do. ” More…
So you have a pre and a touchstone and love showing them off to your friends with iPhones. Finally something that makes you stand out from all the iclones. Well… That was short lived. Apparently an accessary maker for iPhone thought pretty highly of it too and has created a device that works similar. WildCharge is bringing a similar wireless charging technology to Apple’s own handset. Starting today, iPhone (3G and 3GS included) and iPod touch users can order up a WildCharge Skin along with a WildCharger Pad in order to bring wire-free charging to their smartphone. Just slap the skin on, plug the pad in and toss the handset down on the pad and presto wireless charging . The price… $34.99 for the skin, or $79.99 for the skin and pad. Not entirely revolutionary but you knew it would happen soon enough. This is just another proof positive that the Pre is setting new standards.
I was watching television last night and couldn’t help notice the Palm Pre commercials. This comes a day after I complained about the lack of advertising for the Pre. I guess Palm and Sprint wanted to wait and see how the iPhone did over the weekend before they started pumping out their money on advertising. It seems to me that the two companies have realized that if they want to compete then they need to get the word out and what better way than the old boob tube. These are not brand new commercials and they have been running them for the past couple weeks but the amount of airtime they have been getting in the last 24 hours of this posting has increased twofold. If you haven’t seen them yet then take a look below.

Its going to be the end of summer before Pre’s App Catalog is any good or has substance. This is problematic if you want games and utilities and you want them now. Well, there is a solution for you until Palm’s web OS SDK is released. Apple has an enormous catalog of web apps that were created for the iPhone that will work on the Pre. Check it out and find just about whatever type of app you want for your Pre. Enjoy.
