Palm investor thinks that Pre will lure iPhone users over

Palm investor Roger McNamee is confident that the Palm Pre will be so good that even Apple iPhone totting fans will jump ship. In an interview, McNamee said, "You know the beautiful thing: June 29, 2009, is the two-year anniversary of the first shipment of the iPhone." He then went on to make the bold assertion that, "Not one of those people will still be using an iPhone a month later."

As Palm faces six straight quarters of losses amounting to over $650 million, the need to unleash its new Pre smartphone is increasingly crucial. At the moment however, all that is revealed is that Spring Nextel Corp--appointed as the phone's exclusive carrier--will start selling the Pre in the first half of the year. We're approaching mid-march, so it won't be much longer before the Pre is out.
