Comments on: Palm to Price Itself Into Oblivion?

There was the ongoing litany of the casualties of the econalypse: “Semantic” ad network Peer39 shut down its ad operation this week, Hearst is about to pull the plug on the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Forbes announced layoffs and Sir Howard Stringer announced the elimination of thousands of jobs at Sony (SNE). MediaMemo also caught the much-anticipated introduction of the Palm Pre (PALM) and its new Web OS, the product that Palm itself deems superior to the iPhone and that many others consider to be Palm’s last chance for survival. The product’s success or failure will have a lot to do with its pricing, about which there’s much disbelief.

And an App Store as well. I don't think either will make much of a difference -- especially after the next update to the iPhone firmware and the release of a third generation iPhone. And I say that as a former long-term Palm user (Pilot to Treo). Looks like the Pre will have video. And an App Store as well.

Sprints network is far superior to AT&T and wiMAX has almost arrived (could be good or bad). My point is...At first, I think the Pre will do well simply cause its the best on Sprint. This strategy alone could keep Palm afloat. After real world tests, it could have better funtionality than iPhone and start pulling in new customers or it could match the Storm. Willnt know until it hits the streets. Im just excited to finally have a decent Sprint phone with WiFi. Hopefully this is the beginning of many quality phones for Sprint...

They need to stop the flow AND grow to survive, IMHO.

Assuming video and access to some App store(large assumption), the Pre has one huge advantage you overlooked. I think it is hands down the best phone available on Sprint. Having WiFi alone trumps the Instinct. Customer service may leave something to be desired, but Sprint's actual network is way better than AT&T. From that perspective, it doesnt need to be better than the iPhone or an Android phone...it just needs to be the best Sprint phone. Im tied to Sprint and dont plan on leaving, so Im pretty intrigued by the Pre... I agree that the name is not helping out.
