The Palm Pre now has a home in Canada besides the US, and we know is coming to the UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain in Europe. And lets not forget Telstra in Australia will have the Pre before the end of this year. Now China appears to be getting ready for the Palm Pre as well.
According to Financial Times, “China Unicom is in talks with Apple over exclusive rights to sell the iPhone in China. And China Telecom is planning to offer the Palm to its subscribers.” Well, to most of us here, the part about the iPhone doesn’t matter. Now, the Part about “the Palm”, well, that’s another story. Many people believe that the Palm, is in fact, the Palm Pre.
For now, the Palm Pre is a CDMA device, so it would seem obvious that China’s Telecom – which is a CDMA carrier – is planning to launch the Pre. This would be logical since Telecom’s rival, Unicom will have the Pre’s rival; the iPhone. In a personal note, I think it would be great for Palm, since China has so many potential customers for the Pre. I just don’t know if they will like those Palm Commercials with Tamara Hope in them. Maybe Chinese customers will like those TV ads, after all, they were filmed in China.
