AT&T Pre
May 20th, 2010, 4:44pm by KelvinAT&T’s Pre launched this past week with little fanfare. Obviously, it’s old news in many respects, especially in our circle, where our platform allegiences are pretty much set in stone. Still, we who have Pre’s have a vested interest in seeing the platform adopted more widely, so will AT&T help?
I dropped by a store today to see the display. There wasn’t much to see. The Pre Plus is there ($150), but there are no posters or anything to distinguish it from the many free qwerty messaging feature phones that AT&T carries. The iPhone of course has it’s own corner kiosk.
Mike will be happy to hear that Palm has brought back a version of the Demo app that ran (incessantly) on Sprint Pre’s at launch. This one can be exitted, though, with a final parting screen that describes the indespensible back gesture (screen cap below).
