And not dishonest. More power to them.

I don't know why they mention 4G when the Pre doesn't support it... A bit deceiving if you ask me...

Those 1200 dollars are completely misleading. Why would I need to pay for unlimited messaging? I don't need that. With AIM Push Notifications on iPhone you can send SMS messages to any phone for free and get replies instantly on your iPhone. We have 3g Internet always ON. Do I need to say more?

I am sorry, but the Pre looks so ugly to me and I don't need their keyboard with those tiny keys. No, but thanks!

It's a cute ad-- Though it seems like it could almost as easily remind people that they can upgrade to the 3GS.

That's a good point.

Full-page newspaper ad - $1,500
A new Palm Pre with contract - $299
An apple from fruit stand - $1

The irony of a cheesy execution that probably reinforces Apple's dominance and brand more than Palm's - PRICELESS.

FAIL...

do you really imagine this will get any serious amount of people to leave and get a Pre?

Are there many iPhone owners out there who'd part with it for a Pre? And, is it me or is this whole multitasking on a darn phone blown way out of proportion?

This is mostly a jab at AT&T, not Apple (except for the multitasking part).

Great ad and perfect timing. My contract for the original iPhone is almost up and I will change for sure.

er... change to the iPhone 3G s... that is. If I only had Sprint, I might consider the Pre, but I use AT&T and the iPhone is really great.

So, thanks for the ad....... "and all the fish"

Just a thought,
