Palm Pre shown hands on at the Jimmy Fallon Show
Thanks to Wayne at Shulz Consulting for this link.
Up until now, the Pre has always been kept under lock and key and only shown via scripted and controlled demonstrations. This leads us techno geeks at 90minds to assume the product was far from prime time as when you see this treatment, it usually means many areas and functions are either buggy, slow or not yet finished. This led to us making an educated guess that the Palm Pre was still far away from being released.
Considering both Palm and Sprint are counting on this device to be a smash in order to turn around both of their fortunes, its important for this phone to get out as soon as possible and as solid as possible.
Recently, however, the Engadget Editor-in-chief Joshua Topolsky was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with a live Pre running and being demonstrated. Joshua clearly isn’t part of Palm or Sprint and thus we at 90minds now feel this phone is much closer to reality and will hopefully release no later than June of 09. Given it has the sex appeal of the iphone, has the keyboard of the Treo & blackberry, and doesn’t have the iPhone rate plan tax that AT&T charges, this could be a real competitor.
