Palm thinks big – has celebrities hold the Pixi and Pre in hopes to increase sales

Over at the official Palm blog are lots of pictures of celebrities posing with the Palm Pixi and the Palm Pre. Why? Palm somehow was at the Emmy Awards and coaxed people into the pictures. There’s no word if these pictures were taken using the Palm Pre, but it would have been smart to show off that pretty good camera on their blog.

Since these celebrities are actors, we’re guessing Palm told them “Your motivation is that you love the Pixi.” The actor probably said, “The what?” Director person then said, “Just pick up the phone – you love it. Got it?” With that, many photos were taken with the celebs smiling while holding up the phone. Some actors thought, “Hey, it’s a phone, I’ll hold it up to my ear.” Others thought, “I’ll just hold this up so I can get out of here.”

Will this get people to buy the Palm Pixi or Palm Pre? This probably will not result in a huge sales spike because Ricky Gervais played with a Pixi (no offense, Ricky. If you’re reading this, I think you’re quite funny). However, it couldn’t hurt sales. The Palm Pixi is obviously meant for a younger audience, maybe their tech picks can be influenced by celebrities.
