Wayne Brady plainly holds up a Palm Pre near the begining of the most recent episode of "How I Met Your Mother."

dianehelen · 09/30/2010, 09:25 PM

Im always just tickled when I see my very cool phone on TV

Was watching Private Practice, and it just came up all of a sudden, a full screen close up of PRE!

How CUTE is this heheh

bradenfontaine · 09/30/2010, 09:28 PM

seeing more and more on TV. i <3 it.

Cantaffordit · 09/30/2010, 09:33 PM

hp is giving their excess inventory to every actor and producer in america...

bradenfontaine · 09/30/2010, 09:36 PM

god i hope so. then ppl see them with their pre's on tv, sales go up, smart.

palmhead · 10/01/2010, 11:08 AM

I can't imagine that any product placement is done for free. My guess is that HP's marketing firm is paying a lot of money for the exposure. I interpret that as a good indication that HP will stay in the phone business via Palm and will attempt to compete. Why would you pay for product placement for a product line you're not interested in?
I'm waiting patiently.

GuyFromNam · 10/01/2010, 11:35 AM

Think I saw one on House MD last night. Of course that was last season for you guys

bradenfontaine · 10/01/2010, 11:39 AM

never was a fan of House. I like the actor, just not the 'know it all' attitude on most shows now-a-days.

hatchettjack · 10/01/2010, 11:41 AM

awe, its so cute

You're right, a lot of shows with renaissance men with their little manierisms.
The Mentalist is similar in that respect, and basically all CSI shows.
Hell, even Dexter. It's all very Nabokovian.

bradenfontaine · 10/01/2010, 12:31 PM

I'll stick to East Bound and Down. Kenny Powers is a real man. And I do like Eric on True Blood. That is all...

dianehelen · 09:33 AM

Ya well as TV dudes go, I'l take Taye Diggs in a heartbeat! Mmmmmm

Would NOT throw his chocolatey hiney outta.. ooppss, wrong forum hehee

garos09 · 10/06/2010, 09:18 PM

Very briefly spotted palm pre at 4min mark. Alright! Love my oth hd no fee dvr & of course my 13th release day palm pre.

**HelloNNNewman** · 10/09/2010, 01:45 PM

This was from the local CBS Chicago news the other night showing a reporter using the Sprint Pre as her choice of demo. They were doing a story about GPS security of phones, and telling people to turn off GeoTagging of pictures after many girls where contacted and threatened by strangers who looked up the GPS data of pictures they had posted on sites like Facebook.

Good choice of phones to show though

na.cuig.taidhs · 10/10/2010, 12:12 AM

saw it, HP is slowly bleeding Palm into the mainstream society...

srswarley · 10/10/2010, 09:16 PM

I was watching The Whole Truth when I saw one of the attorneys pull out a Palm Pre.. couldn't tell if it was a Pre + or not.. but it was there. Is it me, or are the sightings become more frequent?

sinime · 10/10/2010, 09:43 PM

They seem to be more frequnt. Can't help but wonder if it is just random or HP/Palm paying for air time so the new Pre (which may look like current Pre) will have a, "so that's the phone they are using" to people who are unaware of webOS?

Cantaffordit · 10/10/2010, 10:43 PM

clearing out inventory

ericp74 · 10/11/2010, 09:23 AM

Just saw "Life As We Know It" & you clearly see the main character using Sprint Pre at the airport in the end.
