Full FeedPalm’s Pre ticking away Palm’s life. 150k units sold so far?
Take this about as far as you can throw it, but analyst for RBC Capital, Mike Abramsky says Palm sold 150,000 Pre devices since launch in the USA. These numbers are in stark contrast to the over a million iPhone 3GS units sold worldwide over the first weekend. Is 150,000 units enough to save Palm?
Abramsky goes so far as to put forth some speculation on:
- $99 smaller version will be here before the end of the year. No word on what carrier.
- More carriers in 2010 to include Verizon, AT&T and others.
Another phone so quick is an interesting move and more carriers is a no-brainer to get more interest behind developing 3rd party apps. Would a cheaper phone flop if the Palm App Catalog stays so small? My money says it might.
With the full force of the Android storm just off the coast (there are many units inbound from overseas as I type this), can the WebOS strut its stuff enough to capture some mindshare from consumers and developers alike? Is there time?

I loved my Palm Trio 755p…I can’t wait to get the PRE. I’m sure Palm will make it through the hard times. They have great phones to hold them over until the economy takes a bigger better turn.

Notification bar is the best! I was previously used to the touch keyboard of the iphone, but it just took me 2 days to get used to pre’s keyboard. The speaker phone is also great and clear.
