The Signal Podcast #26: Pre-paring to Launch

Simon Sage

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.

  I agree…I do want Palm to succeed and the “reports” about webOS look very promising. The price is ok but Apple might just have the next step in hardware around the corner.
  As far as software is concerned my bet would be on Android (and maybe webOS) for the next 2-3 years.

  If Palm actually is considering cutting supply of the Pre to inflate demand — they’re going to be sorely disappointed with the reaction. If the Pre is truly an iPhone killer, it should be able to sell at least half of the iPhone’s 1 million phone first run. And I’m hearing reports of 375,000 max for the Pre. That does not an iPhone killer make.

  i iz late for contest?

  For those people that are looking to buy the Pre, it is definitely in your interest to go to a Best Buy first and see if you can get one there before going somewhere else.

  How long until we see a GSM Pre?

  I’ll take the 16Gb, thanks. =-)
