It looks like retailers are going to have to do what Palm won’t: Make the Palm Pixi genuinely cheap, or at least cheaper than the Pre. For example! Walmart’s already slashed the Pixi’s price from $US100 to $US30 — pre-launch.
She was shot in a movie, but apparently the creepy Pre girl died Palm’s world, too. This new Pixi ad is full of fun, happy people using the phone while “Sleepyhead” by Passion Pit plays in the background. Huge improvement.
It’s no secret that Palm’s been taking it niiiice ‘n slow with their app strategy, whatever it is. Here’s their next baby step: Ares, a browser-based, drag-and-drop development toolkit for making simple apps. It’s a marginally good idea!
The Droid and Android 2.0 as a whole, isn’t going to kill the iPhone. That’s ridiculous. It’s going to team up with the iPhone and straight up murder the Palm Pre and possibly others. Here’s why.
