Know who doesn’t have a Palm Pre? Me. Or you, most likely. Know who does? Angelina Jolie.
Presumably one of many celebrities currently touting Palm’s not-so-secret weapon, Jolie was recently spotted on the set of an upcoming flick with a Pre in tow. When the LA Examiner asked her about it, she “went on about it for about two minutes.” The goods? She likes the software (”better than the iPhone”), and the keyboard. The bad? The screen scratches easily.
This is the second pre-release report we’ve heard indicating that the Pre’s screen might be a bit scratch-prone. Come on, Palm: iPhone users post videos of themselves pitting their glass screens against razor blades and keys for fun. Can we get a screen protector in the box, at least?
(Oh, and if you’re wondering about the image to the right: Angelina Jolie is not tiny, and the Palm Pre is not huge. We’re just horrible with Photoshop.)

Some classic photoshopping there…
Only thing – it looks about big enough to club someone over the head with :-)
Angelina Jolie just has baby hands.
She is hot! :) That phone is too.. Anyways don’t you think it’s a bit photoshopped? That phone when I hold it in my arm was not bigger than my head. Look at the size of that thing…
See the last sentence in the post above.
wow, she is just so hot ….!
Forget Brangelina, I’m just excited to hear more about the Pre out in the wild. I’m hoping that the Pre isn’t more scratch-prone than other devices with plastic screens, just more so than the iPhone (admittedly, that glass screen is a huge plus). My Touch Pro has a very flush plastic screen, and no scratches yet, so I’m hopeful…
And do screen protectors work with capacitive touch screens?
P.S. I recognize what it says about me that my lust over the Pre exceeds my lust over Angelina Jolie. And, I recognize the rhyming in that sentence, which was entirely unintentional.
With celebrities raving about it already (without being paid for it), that’s publicity companies can’t buy generally.
Without being paid for it? Are you kidding?
celebrities.. why do we care so much about what they do/say. who gives a shit..
i hate – Tilt at windmills much? :-)
We don’t really care that she’s a celebrity; we just care that she has a Palm Pre.
Wish it hadn’t been photoshopped. I would like to have seen it’s size in a female’s hand, as a comparison, since I’m a female; I’ve only seen it in guys hands.

I remember that one of the original demos given at CES was by a woman (product manager, I think). Unfortunately, I can’t remember any of the specific content to give you something to search for, but I’m sure it’s on YouTube.
Reaction #1. Isn’t Angelina Jolie the one who adopts kids other people turn away?
Reaction #2. Angelina Jolie the (ahem) “actress” or Angelina Jolie the dentist?
Soooo hawt…want to touch the Pre’s hiney.
Now that is one awesome picture!
Tough decision.. but I’ll the the Pre out of that combination. The pre’s UI and culmination of features is astounding. Can’t wait to double check its security for commercial applications so I can get one for my business. I’ll probably check This* digital security site first for that information.
Wow, that picture is so hot! I’d love to get my hands on that! Check out the curves and silky-smoothness!How would you like to make love to that! Oh………Angelina Jolie is in the picture too.
Who cares what she likes or has! An endorsement by her is lethal! Somebody please exit her from our viewing pleasure!
To call that picture awesome simply doesn’t do justice to Angelina Jolie.
