Palm Pre, Plus Roger and Me

By Paul Kedrosky · Thursday, January 8, 2009 ·

I don’t do much tech here these days, nevertheless, this is one thing I need to mention. Despite my general Palm bearishness, I have to admit that the new Palm Pre -- sporting a spiffy and seemingly well-designed new o/s -- seems to be rocking the house at CES. Early reviews are highly positive, it looks visually impressive, and the stock is up big post-announcement.

Congrats to the Palm crew. This means I owe Roger McNamee at Elevation Partners lunch. We bet on the reception that the new Palm o/s would receive, and I took the under -- wrongly, as it turns out.
