Friday Fun Video: TiPb Screaming for Palm Pre to Bring it On!

Friday Fun Video: Palm Pre Fans Dreaming in 1960s Technicolor

Springtime, when videos turn their attention towards impending gadgets that are other than the iPhone. Samsung Instinct, BlackBerry Storm, Nokia… what was it again?

CEOh-Snap! McNamee Says Come June, All iPhone Owners Will Become Pre-verts!

Hey, it’s nice to see Palm getting back into the game! No, not with their admittedly compelling — if Apple inspired — Palm Pre handset set to land sometime in the first half of 2008.
