Palm is running a new print ad that takes aim at the Apple iPhone. The ad shows an open Palm Pre resting against an already eaten Apple. The ad reads “Your iPhone contract is up. Perfect timing.” The ad then goes on to talk about the lack of multitasking on the iPhone, and the supposed $1200 a user could save by switching to Sprint. You can check out the ad on the company’s Facebook page at the link below. We can’t wait to see Apple’s response.
Palm and network operator partner Sprint (NYSE: S) have leveled their sites directly onto iPhone users. The new ad reads, in part, “Your iPhone contract is up. Perfect Timing.” Next to these words is a picture of the Palm Pre resting against an eaten Apple. It’s a bold ad that echoes words from Elevation Partners Investor Roger MacNamee, who said that iPhone owners would flock to the Pre in droves. Back in March, MacNamee said:
Web sites have been testing the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G and Pre directly against one another for the last week. Depending on which test you’re looking at, the iPhone 3GS edges out the…
A number of complaints regarding the iPhone 3GS‘ battery have surfaced on Apple’s discussion board since the handset’s June 19 launch. Given Apple’s promises of a faster and longer lasting iPhone, it’s understandable that 3GS users, particularly those who have made the jump from the previous models, have higher expectations. Preliminary battery testing on our iPhone 3GS review model showed positive results, but we won’t know the whole story until CNET Labs finishes its tests. Until that time, I can offer tips on making your iPhone battery last. They can be used individually or in combination to best suit your own needs. Some of these ideas are even recommended by Apple and some of them we’ve mentioned on iPhone Atlas before. Reset iPhone Restore with original settings
New AT&T customers who pass a credit check know what they will pay for a new iPhone: $99 for an 8 GB iPhone 3G, $199 for a 16 GB iPhone 3GS, and $299 for a 32 GB iPhone 3GS. AT&T also charges a $36 activation fee. The firm requires a two-year contract, and a pretax minimum $40 voice plan, along with a $30 data plan. Text messages are not included in these minimum monthly fees. If you’re an existing iPhone owner, the pricing gets more complicated. Subscribers who are still within a two-year contract may be eligible for the prices cited above. AT&T subsidizes handsets, absorbing the difference between what a handset maker like Apple charges it, and what the firm passes along to a subscriber. With iPhones, that difference is believed to be from $200 to $400. AT&T recoups its subsidy from you as part of its monthly service fees, which also must pay for the capital and operating costs of its network, and (shareholders insist) produce a profit, too. Last week, AT&T said that customers who paid at least $99 per month per line would be allowed to get an iPhone at the cheapest price 12 to 18 months into their contract…
