Default High-quality Pre pics

They're not in-person shots or anything, but in the absence of real news, I stumbled across some very nice in-person Pre photos from CTIA - none of this blurry-when-full-size crud that's all over the internet. And I'll tell you what - it really is a beautiful device. *swoon*

Let the Pre pr0n commence!

nice pics. I looked hard, but I couldn't see any scratches on the screen.

Can we get someone to translate what was on the side of the Pre box?

It's repetitive Latin filler. Lorem Ipsum, but not.

Yeah, I spoke to him and the Palm rep that was in the store about a week ago.

She doesn't even have HER Palm Pre yet either... but she does feel she'll have hers by mid-May, she wasn't sure about advocates but doesn't see them getting them much longer after that (or the same time).

Default HD video of palm

This was captured at CES with a Canon 5D MK II in HD.

palm pre overview with Palm's Product Marketer Stephanie Richardson | MobileDivide

Good high quality video - a bit dated, but still worth watching.

I really need to manufacture a reason to buy one of those.

Edit: Here's the second part of that video.

You and me both! Too expensive for me at the moment, I started a car restoration project about a year and a half ago when the economy was booming. $20k later, I can't afford another $6k for a new camera setup

One of these babies though is definitely in my near future:

Flip Video Ultra HD makes its unofficial debut, gets unboxed

along with waterproof casing so I can take it kayaking with me.

Nothing (though the graphics nit-pick in me says that there's too much JPEG compression) - the more the merrier, I say!
