PRE-liminary Buzz

Waaaay too much is going on in the mobile world for one to sit down and ask themselves: What am I going to buy next? How could you; you’ve been bombarded by commercials, reviews, billboards, applications, your neighbor’s opinions, and of course Google Ad Targeting. 

Now, the question of “what’s currently best for me?”, isn’t current at all. Palm and Sprint have teamed up to unleash the largest – pre-release gossip frenzy known to modern technology. iPhone rumors? Puh-leeez. If Sprint has its way, people will be "hype"ing the Pre, "Facebook"ing it, "tweet"ing it, and "whatever"ing it left and right. 

While the Palm Pre looks gorgeous and may very well be in line to dominate the smartphone market (highly-unlikely), they should be aware that what little buzz accumulated for the Blackberry Storm backfired like picking Sarah Palin as a vice-presidential candidate. 

I couldn't even keep their advertisments out of my blog-post.
