For what it's worth, my wife really liked those Pre ads.

Anyway, I used to work in the cell phone industry and the suits at Palm have been disconnected with reality for years. Their VP of Marketing was once bragging to me of their growing dominance in the PDA market, long after it was clear that smartphones were about to destroy the unconnected PDA market. What's that joke about buggy whips?

And FWIW, my wife thought they were creepy and condescending.


The suits at Palm have changed in the past 2 years.


Fair point.
