Like Palm’s Roger McNamee boasted, June 29th 2009 is the 2 year anniversary of the first shipment of the Apple iPhone, and he expects all those who use the Apple iPhone to opt for using the Palm pre rather than take up another contract or even go for something else.
This is kind of an arrogant statement, which could have the opposite affect; personally if someone said to me what McNamee is saying, I’d simply continue with the Apple iPhone just out of making a point.
I am quite sure Apple iPhoners aren’t as gullible as McNamee seems to think they are. iPhoners don’t just go for a mobile handset simply because it is deemed cool, they actually like what the Apple iPhone has to offer.
It remains to be seen just how popular the Palm Pre will become, maybe it will be as popular, then again maybe it won’t but seriously I can’t see shiploads of iPhoners throwing their iPhone just to grab a Pre can you?
So iPhone toting readers, has McNamee got it right, will Apple iPhone users leave for the Palm Pre?
