yeah i feel like i have 4000+ twitter followers, a blog that gets a lot of traffic, and almost 1500 on friendfeed. I got a good audience that I would love to share my thoughts :) - (jeff)isageek

I'm holding out for the Prethinking givaway I never win anything though. - Gunny doesn't side-hug™

is there anyone out there that can make this happen? :) - (jeff)isageek

Jeff: No. They're being *incredibly* tight with them at the moment. It's almost absurd. One of my best friends is a Palm VP, has one right now, and I'm not even allowed to see it for fear that somebody'll lose their job. Somebody will probably lose their job just for me mentioning that somebody has one, and by saying I'm not allowed to see it, I'm probably guaranteeing that I'll never see it. I have to go now... two black vans just pulled up outside... - Ken Sheppardson

ken : haha - (jeff)isageek

Hah. I talk to one million cell phone buyers every weekend on my nationally syndicated radio program and I didn't get one either. I suspect that if your last name isn't Pogue, Mossberg, or Baig it's going to be pretty hard to get one in advance. - Leo Laporte

Oh, waaaaaah. Buy one like the rest of us peasants. - Fleagle

Y'know, while I have no specific information... (I hereby swear and attest I've seen no device, accessories, plans, presentations, marketing collateral, point-of-sale displays, packaging, or any related material provided by any Palm or Sprint employee, contractor, or partner, not directly covered by an explicit written agreement with Palm, Sprint, or their duly authorized agent or previously made available to the public)... I get the distinct impression the release date is closer than most people think. - Ken Sheppardson

I tend to agree. I signed up and have seen posts all over the web about people getting theirs in the mail already! What gives? - Fred

I'm sure it's a cool device but really, is it enough to save Palm...? - winckel

Should it matter if it saves them? It's a new gadget! :D - Fred

By itself, no. But it's probably the first/flagship in a line. There will be more webOS devices. - Barry Biddlecomb from twhirl

Fred: I'm pretty sure no reviewers have received a Pre at this point (http://www.engadget.com/2009...) - Ken Sheppardson

no one has one. - Richard Lawler

I don't have one. Richard: that's not true. I know of a big name tech journalist who has one. - Robert Scoble

My buddy who works way up with Sprint just got off the phone with me and was playing with one. Very excited! - Dennis Jackson

Is the Pre going to save Palm? Or are they going down in the next few years? - David Damore
