Wow, who would have believed it? The Palm Pre actually exists outside of private tradeshow demos and the hands of celebrities?
If that’s actually a real, functional pre and not a mock-up or a well-done knockoff, it looks like accessory manufacturers have began getting shipments of the much coveted Sprint handset. An anonymous Ludle employee tipster just posted a few shots of the Pre alongside a Centro and an iPhone, noting a few things:
- The screen is less scratch resistant than the iPhone
- The back of the handset is more scratch resistant than the iPhone, but much more susceptible to finger prints
- It’s in mass production, right this second.
We’ll keep digging for details, but we fully expect everyone involved to be bombarded with questions within the hour.

So you guys are a little behind. Two Pres were spotted in SF last weekend in the hands of non celeb youngsters.
We don’t know they weren’t celebrities. We didn’t see their faces!
(But yeah, shh.)
If this is indeed true, and the Palm Pre is actually in mass production, then that May 15 rumor for launch day might actually be true.
Didn’t anyone else actually go to ludle.net? I did and half of the site generated connection errors. I wonder what accessories they would be making?
cant wait to get my hands on the pre myself ….
They’re probably making bags for the pre. Stylish fashion accessory type “Pre-Purses”.
me too!!!, looks better than the Iphone.
