We’ve asked about Social Media apps, Games, and Travel apps, now we’re just straight up asking: the Half-Off sale on webOS apps ends tomorrow and so tell us: what have you purchased? What will you purchase? There are a ton of good apps out there (a few of our faves are after the break) but tell us in the comments what you’re rocking and or rolling.
Best Buy is now selling the Palm Pre for $99 with a 2 year contract, $100 less than the previous price. As usual, purchasing a phone at Best Buy also means that you don’t need to futz around with a mail-in rebate, all rebates are instant.
We’re not sure exactly what to file this under:
Whether this is a permanent price drop for Best Buy or a temporary thing is as-yet unclear. But the bottom line is that if you are still in the hunt for a Pre (or want to pick up a second one for a family plan), it would seem like a good idea to hit up your local Best Buy this Sunday afternoon.
Thanks to Eric for the tip and photo!
Update 2: As some have noted in our comments, the pricing was an error. Best Buy Twelpforce participant, Best Buy Marketing Manager John Bernier tweets (and confirms – Thanks John!) that Best Buy is returning the price to its rightful spot. The price is $199. Anybody manage to eke out the $99 price point? [via Engadget, thanks Wiski!].
Update: Farhan has helped us figure out the pricing change. As you can see in the commercial below, Best Buy Mobile’s "Twelpforce" is from the future. Since it was probably inevitable that the Pre would drop to $99, they’re just a little ahead of their time.
