Palm Pre available today!

After unveiling Palm Pre at CES in January, we wanted to give you the opportunity to get to know a

few of the people behind the product. Over the past few months, we’ve introduced you to people who

have helped to:

1.Turn Pre from concept to reality
2.complement Pre with breakthrough accessories like the Touchstone inductive charger
3.develop the webOS that powers Pre
4.ensure that the Pre user interface was intuitive and engaging
5.effectively convey the Pre story on palm.com
6.convey the Pre message to everyone through break-the-mold advertising
7.coordinate every facet of launching Pre.

Today, Palm’s first webOS-powered phone -- Palm Pre -- is available on the Sprint Now Network. We

thought this would be a good occasion to give you the chance to “meet” the rest of the team at

Palm. From all of us at Palm, we truly appreciate your enthusiasm -- and your patience -- since

January. We couldn’t have gotten to today without you!

Palm Pre is out! The wait is over! Launch on Sprint and O2

Palmwebosblog posted this post have a look is it true????

We have been waiting for this day for months and it’s finally here! We have a confirmation that Palm Pre is launching today in the US and in the UK! Sprint and O2 have rolled out a full-on marketing campaign and Palm Pre adverts are all over London! I am currently queueing outside the O2 store to get my hands on the Pre! The unexpected launch is due to Apple’s announcement yesterday that iPhone 4g is launching on 27 April. The price of the Pre is $199 and £149 on 2 year contract with unlimited data plan.

A full hands-on review of the GSM Pre will follow shortly. I am so excited and hope that Pre stocks won’t run out as the queue is huge!

Oh, by the way, UK gets a choice of the silver Pre!
