Probably Not The Palm Pre Chart Roger McNamee Wants To See

“ You know the beautiful thing: June 29, 2009, is the two- year anniversary of the first shipment of the iPhone, ” Elevation Partners (which owns a huge portion of Palm) co-founder Roger McNamee told Bloomberg in March. “ Not one of those people will still be using an iPhone a month later. ” A week from tomorrow is the big day for McNamee's prediction. How's it looking? Not so hot. Okay, awful. Yes, it's still early in the Palm Pre's life. And yes, there is plenty of room in the rapidly expanding mobile universe for more than one device. But it was McNamee who specifically threw down this gauntlet against the iPhone. And that makes charts like the one below, that much more amusing.
