Competition is integral for a healthy market, right? The Palm Pre is the latest and greatest super-smartphone released and is a serious competitor to the current king, the Apple iPhone. Palm isn’t hiding the fact they are gunning for Cupertino.
Take a look at this ad that ran in today’s Wall Street Journal. Here is an excerpt of the ad copy: “Your iPhone contract is up. Perfect timing. The Palm Pre does things the iPhone can’t. Run multiple applications at the same time with real-time updates and even save $1200 over two years.” The Pre is propped up against an apple core. I guess Palm is not going for subtlety at all here.
Advertising in the WSJ, Palm looks to be going after the business oriented. I don’t know if business-types care about running multiple applications at one time, but everyone cares about savings in these troubled economic times (drink). Will this get more people interested in the Palm Pre? We’ll see once Palm announces its next financial statements.
