The Pomegranate: The Palm Pre Is Now Dead!

Never in my life did I ever think a phone better than the Palm Pre would be revealed — even before the Palm Pre goes on sale.

But it’s happened.

The Pomegranate just makes the Palm Pre look so … backward!

Just go look at those unbeatable features!!

This is the kind of Forward Thinking I expected from Palm!

I’m sad to inform all of you that I’m dropping this blog and setting up PomegranatePoint.

Colligan, Rubinstein, all of the rest of you at Palm … you’ve failed!

PreSpotting: Knight Rider

THIRD UPDATE: Palm itself says it is not a Pre. Scroll to bottom!

This post will be updated, so come back for more.

palmwebosblog ReTweeted a Palm Pre sighted on Knight Rider last night.

I’ve got a quick screensnap up on Flickr.

I’ll be going through the episode now and getting more.

If you want to see the episode for yourself: Hulu link.

Update follows:

As it turns out, the best pic was the first one I threw on Flickr. Still, more:

Apparently the first use of a Palm Pre on screen was in Knight Rider. And it was all rather low-key too!

Not a Palm Pre!

Reverse-angle of not a Palm Pre!

Right, here comes the Palm Pre!

Knight slides it open with his thumb!

The big picture that confirms

A shame nothing else of it was shown. I wonder if it was simply a dummy shell?

Second update!

I didn’t check Comments until after doing this update.

First, JayCanuck points out a YouTube clip. Go to about 5:00 in:

Second, TreoKing links to waaaay better pictures than mine. Apparently he has a muscular PC that can do HD video (mine can’t!), so these snaps are clearer: One, Two, Three, Four.

Thanks for the additional material that adds to the Pre excitement!

Third Update:

Those tinyurl links are to the four better-resolution screensnaps TreoKing left in the Comments.

Palm replied:

Trust me, Palm itself would know!

Ah, so no Palm Pre.
