the real world review

iPhone rocked the phone industry with a revolutionary PDA / phone / smart phone. Ever since every phone manufacturer has been trying to be the next iPhone. 

I was really glad to see this today, Palm is asking for volunteers to review their phone. Palm, who has an upcoming device titled the “Pre”. Its touch screen, and has a keyboard, with a new lightning fast OS. In their pre launch stages, Palm is engaging the real world by asking for reviews to use the phone, and blog, twitter, and facebook their opinions. 

This is great. They are taking away their marketing control, and letting the masses say what they will. 

This takes Guts. 

Are you so confident in your product or Service to ask the real world to review you as loudly as they can? Do you want to know the results?

  1. Palm is in a precarious position. Their entire future lies on this new phone. The palm pilot market is drying up to smart phones like the iPhone and Blackberries and their current smart phones can’t relate to others in their sector. They are either going to eat up a large market share or go down in flames. Its a great way to sink or swim. It should be interesting.
