Palm serious about AT&T Training: ‘Practice’ Pre Pluses en route?

March 31st 2010 | Posted by Dieter Bohn

 

Engadget has word that select AT&T will be receiving 'practice' Palm Pre Plus phones tomorrow for select employees can use for learning / training. Given the problems that Palm has had with buy-in amongst Verizon employees (necessitating 'Project Jumpstart' to evangelize the platform within the company), we can only see this as a smart move. Whether or not this means that we might see an AT&T launch sooner rather than later remains to be seen. The leaked slide does make it pretty clear that these devices are not meant to be seen by prying eyes.

Combine this with the fact that Verizon just slashed prices on webOS products and we can draw at least one conclusion: there's a concerted effort to turn webOS sales around.

Thanks to everybody who sent this in!
