Palm Kicks Off Monster Sale for U.S. Customers

- By - Source : Tom's Hardware US

Calling all U.S. Pre and Pixi owners!

We've grown used to sales offering Palm devices for next to nothing but this current sale for Palm apps is pretty unusual. For the next few weeks anyone with a Palm Pre or Palm Pixi can enjoy cut-price shopping through the U.S. Palm App Catalog and Palm web channel.

Barring a handful of apps that will remain at full price, you have until July 9 to load up on half-price applications for your phone. Unfortunately, this is U.S. only, so no love for Canadians or Europeans, which is a bit of a bummer.

Get 'em while they're hot, America.

I always thought the Pre commercials were weird/stupid with that weird woman in them.

Palm Pre was killed by the Apple mind control machinery.

Wow, what foolish comments.

I've had a Palm Pre for 3 months and it will be a sad day when I have to stop using it. By far the most elegant and well thought out Smartphone OS to date. It was a but rough in the first few months, but with the most recent patches, it's an absolute pleasure to use.

"the palm pre was killed because web os is terrible."

elaborate please. IMO WebOS is is probably the best mobile OS out there, regardless of app count.

The wife has a Palm Pixi which replaced her Centro. She loves it. She's tried WinMo6.1, Android (HTC Hero) and even the neighbor's iPhone. Didn't like any of them.

Personally, I don't like webOS or the Pre/Pixi. But I also don't like the iPhone nor Android phones. I'd rather go back to a basic flip-phone than lose the freedom my WinMo phone allows.

You obviously havent really used it. I have had a palm pre for about a year and even though I loved it, I am now upgrading to the EVO because I have been a sprint customer for 10 years and can upgrade every year. What I will miss with the pre most of all is the operating system. The multitasking and cards are much better than android and the iphone software.

Also, if webos was such a crappy operating system, I don't think HP would have paid a dime for Palm since they say they don't want to get into the smartphone business. I am sorry to see the demise of the pre because I loved the phone, but at least we may see a resurection of the WebOS with an HP tablet.

Anyhow, I decided to trade the Palm Pre for an EVO mainly because I think the pre will just disapear and will eventually no longer be supported. Android on the other hand will be around for a long time. And who cant resist the 8 MP camera and that huge screen?
