: Palm Pre

2 things….

Pre? What kinda dumb name is that?
HOLY CRAP!!! This phone looks so freakin’ awesome!

See the CES 2009 video demos on youtube:

Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 Link 5

It’s very close to making me rethink my Blackberry addiction.

This new Palm phone does everything the iPOS..err..iPhone does…AND BETTER!

Just unfortunate that it’s launching on the Sprint network exclusively. I would wait for it to come to Verizon and REALLY wonder if I’m still a Crackberry addict.

Time will tell….

Bloggers…please add a “Contact Me” link somewhere on your blog

Published Jan 04, 2009 in Opinion

This is a call out to most of the bloggers of the world. If you want people to leave you feedback or kudos or “hey you have a typo here” message, have a “contact me” link somewhere easy to find on your site.

It’s just common sense.

I’ve been trying to contact some bloggers to let them know that I’ve taken the liberty of adding their feed to one of my blogging aggregating sites. I couldn’t leave a message for close to 50% of the bloggers.

So please, if you have a blog, post a “contact me” link.

Opinion: RIM stock price to never reach it’s previous high…ever.

I’m no finance professional by any stretch of the word. Hell, I hate the term, “assetss and liabilities”.

But, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that RIM’s stock price will probably be where it is now for a very very very long while.

RIM’s popularity grew with the business sector. They’ve dominated mobile communications for years with their smartphones. Well…duh..that’s not news

And with all the big banks and other varied financial institutions going belly up, that doesn’t bode well for RIM’s subscriber base. Without many subscribers, RIMs books will report lower and lower revenue.

If and only if the financial sector improves, will RIMs pockets deepen. But, I think that RIMs stock price will dive even further than it is today ($38 Down from it’s year high of $148).

Let’s hope that RIM will be smart and divest their product line to offer more phones to different sectors.

Heck, Apple is positioning their iPhone as both a consumer product and a business product (and we know how that is far(k)ing).

RIM needs to improve upon their consumer product line with the Storm and the Kickstart. Get into more pockets and purses than the ubiquitous iPhone. (I hate to acknowledge the popularty of the iPhone but it’s hard not to comment on it when talking about RIM)

Just my 2 cents
