RE: Get real
RE: Get real
People outside of a target market frequently think promotions are dumb. For example, tons of things get marketed to my wife that I think are stupid but she thinks are great. Just another example of one size doesn't fit all.

RE: Get real
Looks like the Claudia edition has been a BIG BUST!
I still think they should have come out with a gold Mr. T version. ("I pity the fool that doesn't buy my PDA!")
RE: Get real
I can't believe people are bitching about this and saying that the only smart thing for Palm to do is a higher resolution screen, MP3 playback, etc. Have you ever just hung out at a BestBuy, Circut City or CompUSA and just listened to the people buying Palm's? Most of them probably would want (or have any idea how to, for that matter) use anything beyond the built-in apps. These people will buy a palm because it's becoming mainstream now and because someone they actually recognize (They want to be like Mike) is selling these.
I just hope that we don't have kids killing each other to get the latest "Air-Palm" off of each other...

RE: Colored Palms
I know there is an inventory problem with doing this (ask Apple with their original 5 color iMac choices -- now much fewer choices).
I think if they offered just 2 colors (the Claudia color and the standard color) there would be more appeal (i.e. more sales)
I've never seen anyone with the Claudia version, but would notice it if someone had one.

Briliant Idea
The fact of the matter is, that most of us already own palms, because we are either A.)total computer geeks, or B.) Have some uses that really improve out lives. or both.
The average Joe doesn't have one, and doesn't see the need to have one. The average joe, doesn't even write stuff down, so where would he get the motivation to learn how to grafitti his calander in?
If people knew how easy it was, and how much it can oraganize and improve their lives, they would jump on the idea to buy on.
If M.J. is shown using one, you can count on a ton of b-ball junkies will start buying them, and will see the benefit.
People always want to buy what the stars have.
this is no exception

RE: Briliant Idea
on a more serious note, does anybody know just how big is the potential "basketball junkie" market? how many mjs or claudias does ptn expect to sell?
And SHAQ will be promoting the new "I-SHAQ" PPC for Compaq
