High-powered folk like that will probably get units as part of the normal review process. Note that the Palm program is called "Real Reviewers," which I take to mean "regular" folk using the Pre in their real lives.

Like me, in mine.

Okay, so, it seems that everyone's given up on asking about the Real Reviewers program. Is the assumption at this point that the RR's have been notified but asked to keep it quiet, or that the program still hasn't rolled out?

i just emailed a very famous high level top 5 technology reviewer and asked him/her if we can expect a review from him/her any time soon. his/her exact response was -

"Stay tuned, but ignore wild speculation about timing."

now please don't inundate these people with emails.

dstaley: @palm_inc Can you please give us some information regarding the Real Reviewer program? People are slowly losing hope, but I'm holding strong

Palm_inc: @dstaley Stay tuned. (And explain why your thumbnail says "Abducted.")

You have got to be kidding me. And he didn't even tell US. He used twitter. I wish we could get negative rep points.

wynand32 · 05/13/2009, 01:55 PM

So, I guess the answer is: the Real Reviewers were notified, and must have agreed not to say so until they received their Pre's. Because nobody would be so cruel as to joke about something like this...

Would they?

Where'd you think I got his Twitter name from? One of his posts here has a tiny Twitter icon. He DID share his Twitter name here, just very subtile.

schnoid · 05/13/2009, 01:58 PM

twitter's down... bummer :-(

Oh, I figured that's where you got his name from. But I thought he would have announced something here. Twitter is down now for maintenance.

We may not see these reviewers for a while. Probably not till after the Pre-gasm subsides. May be several days
