It’s not all bad news Palm fans, as the company will be randomly giving out neat-o accessories to webOS users across the country and it will be absolutely free!
… starting today, a small group of tote-bag-toting Palm envoys will be on the lookout for folks who look like they could use a free Palm accessory. It could be a case, a colorful induction-charging back for the Palm Pixi, a Palm Touchstone Charging Dock — or maybe even some cool Palm stickers!
The company said these teams will be in any country that Palm products are sold and they have to see you using your Palm product. Wish I could give you more details on where, but that’s all we know. If you haven’t seen the Touchstone yet, you should know it’s a pretty damn cool charging dock, but it costs way too much.
It’s a nice, guerrilla way to generate some good will among its customers but this is not going to be enough to turn around the company’s fortunes. By this time next year, I’d expect Palm to not exist as an independent company and it will probably be better off as part of HTC or Lenovo.
