Palm Pre Smartphone May Appear On Sub £25 Contracts

Our Comments

The only networks selling Palm Gear currently is Vodafone which is selling the desperately lonely Palm Treo Pro, Blackberry lookalike. It launched last year for a whopping £399 but failed to become a popular model as the iPhone first, then Android and Blackberry models submerged it. Palm is betting its future on that single smartphone and should it fail, it will almost certainly be facing some very, very difficult choices before the end of 2009.
