Tech: A bunch of Palm Pre fanbois just wet themselves

  • It’s coming. June 6. $300 (plus $100 mail-in rebate). To everyone who thought the Palm Pre would never see the light of day in the overtly public way which it deserves, next month proves to be Pre judgment day. Getting a release just a couple of days before the third-generation iPhone announcement, they can either steal Apple’s thunder entirely or look like an also-ran in the market. Either way, Bono wins. source
