Pre Release Date: Desperation Setting In

As noted in our Palm Pre Forums, some cat named "releasemypre" is doing up some videos demanding that Palm really and truly give us a release date.  It's some kind of viral and it's some kind of humor (the previous version had an in-apt 'joke-threat' that caused it to be taken down) and it gives us a little smile.

If it's Palm-sponsored viral marketing, we're feeling some desperation as the company runs out of things to tell us until the Pre gets released.  If it's genuine, well, yes, we're nearly as desperate and not just for the Pre itself anymore.  We just want a release date.  Seriously.

In any case, we aren't sure if this is the "Palm Pre Protest Guy" viral series that we know Palm was planning on releasing.  It could be, but it's really anyone's guess.  We're leaning towards "not."

Whatever the source, we agree with Eguy, every time Mr. Ski Mask hollers "PALM," we feel a connection to his mock rage.

Love this video. First!

Yep, figured when they said they were going to "killer her", it would not last long....this is too funny though.

Too funny

Haha.. now THIS one is funny, the first one was a little.. uncomfortable.. :)

This video was a delight to watch. The drama is what captures your attention but there's also a tender romance in there that really makes you think even weeks afterwards. I left the web page wanting to hear more from these wonderful characters. I haven't read the book yet but I certainly will be.

I hear the video game is going to be released 1st 1/2 of 2010.

OMFG! I didnt realize they uploaded another one. Very nice job. In fact, 'screw the what would you do' contest; this guy deserves a pre! (id rather pay for mine). Unlike all the lame ass videos on you-tube, these guys did a nice job. not over-the top and still funny!

2x - Thanks!

PALM, I give you 24.... wait, uhh 48 hours!! to deliver!!

pfft. Pawned!

YOU HEARING THIS PALM! ... AND YOUR SPRINT TOO!!

Video is fantastic, I'm still smiling. I can't cut and paste... I know... HAHAHHA USE IT!!!!

Instant Classic

I CAN'T, I CAN'T... I CAN'T DO TWO THINGS AT ONCE!

Haha

Didn't she say "I can't, I need 2 hands!"

She also says, "I can't cut and paste" ahahaha. the first time through I thought she said "i can't contemplate," which made no sense.

Anywho, funny vid.

how can you *NOT* think this is the viral campaign sponsored by SPRINT?

"I can't, I can't cut & paste!" "I know you can't, HAHAHA, USE IT!!!!"

Genius. Well played, Palm, well played.

PAAAAAAAALM!

Sorry folks,
but I CAN'T WATT ANY LONGER FOR THAT TREMENDOUS PHONE!!!
I'm from Germany and I spend 2 hours a day looking for new info about this mobile!!
I became paranoid I think,... somehow I will buy whatever perhaps a plastic card with a drawn touchscreen to satisfy my paranoia!

...
Cheers, Robert

HA, That has to be Kevin James, someone 2nd me on this

hilarious

"give us a release date or we make her use an iphone!!"

but if it was Palm who made this clip, I doubt they would include an iphone in it.

I don't mind holding on for a release when there is stuff like this to occupy my time... haha, very funny.
