The Palm Pre has gotten off to a solid start with 300,000 sales in June. When you consider that Palm sold 351,000 devices in the whole quarter before and that was for all devices, this is certainly a move upwards. More at Digital Daily.
“During its post-earnings conference call last Thursday, Palm refused to say how many Pre handsets have been sold to date. Or how many it believes it will sell in the first quarter of production. The company would say only, in the words of CEO Jon Rubinstein, that “sales have been strong and growing.” So until Palm (PALM) provides specific Pre sales figures, we have only the estimates of analysts with which to gauge the device’s impact on Palm’s moribund smartphone franchise.
And the latest estimates, from Edward Snyder at Charter Equity Research, suggest that the impact is great. Sources in the manufacturing and retail channels tell Snyder that Palm may have sold as many as 300,000 Pres in June and 70,000 in May. “
3 words: pump and dump.
“70 000 in May”…..Thought it wasn’t available until June?
Why does the chick in the photo:
1. Exhibit the classic Croydon Facelift? Is this to appeal to the masses?
2. Stand in front of all those people in orange boiler suits? Is this a surreal Guantanamo Bay parade? The people look like they are in stress positions too..
Palm, we demand answers!
(OK I’ll resume my medication…)
