Palm Pre Plus, Pixi Plus smartphones on deck for AT&T – Yahoo! News
Palm’s touch-screen WebOS handsets are now available from three of the big four U.S. carriers, but with Palm’s fortunes in freefall, is it a case of too little, too late?
Palm announced at the Consumer Electronics Show back in January that it would be offering WebOS-based phones through AT&T, but it didn’t specify which handsets at the time. Would we be getting updated versions of the existing Pre and Pixi, a la the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus on Verizon Wireless, or something new altogether? Well, turns out we’re just talking the former. Palm hasn’t released a specific street date for the AT&T-ready Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, but it has announced two-year contract pricing: $149 for the revamped Pre Plus, and $49 for the Pixi Plus. (Unfortunately, you’ll only get those prices after mailing in for a $100 rebate.)
As with the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus on Verizon, the two made-for-AT&T Palm phones will both boast Wi-Fi, while the Pre Plus will come with 16GB of storage, double the 8GB available on Sprint’s version of the Pre. Both handsets will be able to “transparently” connect to nearby AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots, according to Palm; the bad news, though, is that the phones reportedly will not support Palm Mobile Hotspot, the ultra-cool app available for Pre and Pixi users on Verizon that essentially turns your Palm handset into a roving, 3G-powered Wi-Fi access point.
The news about the upcoming Pre Plus and Pixi Plus comes at a perilous time for Palm, which has seen its stock price collapse after warning investors of disappointing (putting it mildly) handset sales, even after launching the revamped Pre and Pixi on Verizon in January. As PaidContent.org reports, Palm is “scrambling” to move its growing inventory of Pre and Pixi phones, which have seen serious price drops on third-party retailer sites. Indeed, as I wrote earlier this month, at least one wireless reseller is now offering either the Pre Plus or a Pixi Plus on Verizon for the low price of zero (with a two-year contract).
That’s great for bargain-hunting wireless shoppers, but disastrous in terms of Palm’s perception on Wall Street, with (as noted by PaidContent) at least one technology analyst chopping his target price for Palm stock to zilch.
Personally, I don’t see the arrival of the Pre Plus or the Pixi Plus on AT&T as a game-changer for Palm; instead, it sounds simply like more of the same. The best way Palm could reverse its flagging fortunes (in my humble opinion, anyway) would be to unleash a new, souped-up WebOS handset or even a tablet to go up against the iPad. And who knows, maybe Palm will unveil such a device at the CTIA Wireless confab in Las Vegas this week – not that I’ve heard the faintest whisper of any such thing occurring, but hey, anything’s possible, right?
So, what do you think: Does Palm still have another life left, or is it just a matter of time before a bigger fish comes along to gobble it up?
