My Pre managed to snag a 10-minute clip of the Pre being demoed during Sprint’s invite-only webcast earlier today. Even though Sprint and Palm didn’t reveal price or exact release date, the Palm Pre price plans have been confirmed. As far as the demo of the Pre goes, there isn’t anything we haven’t seen before at CES09 or MWC09. I invite you to enjoy the numerous high-resolution videos of the Pre from previous events below.
Our Sprint Palm Pre webcast roundup includes full Q&A coverage, with Sprint reconfirming that Pre is still on-schedule for a release date in the first half of 2009, “casual” or “web-centric” gaming is possible, and that Palm will continue to release Windows Mobile phones side by side with the Pre.
All in all, it was a disappointing webcast for folks who have been following the Palm Pre’s development since CES. The video demo segment showed nothing newer than our own 26 minute demo, embedded below, and the questions selected for the second half seemed to bypass the technical queries many of us have had and instead focus on clarifying details we already know.
Apple announced earlier today that they will preview the iPhone OS 3.0 on March 17th, so it’ll be interesting to see how webOS vs. iPhone 3.0 and Pre vs. iPhone plays out.
