A few Palm Pre fans across the United States have reported that they are receiving postcard marketing from Sprint abou the Palm Pre! That’s right ladies and gentlemen, with all the talk of Twitter and the Cloud, Sprint is taking it old school and hitting up your postbox – not your inbox – to get their marketing message across.

I’ve been waiting a long time for Palm’s answer to the iPhone.
As a Treo user since its onset, I’m used to Internet access, GPS capability, synching with my Outlook and the rest of my PC. What new goodies are we looking at in the PRE? (I’ll be reading some related articles, thanks for posting them.)
Also, Do you know the tree to bark up to find out how to start making PRE apps?
Great post, thank you.
