Microsoft did the right thing and broadcast their E3 announcements today. Good idea!

They broadcast the video of the announcer standing in front of a field of dots. Bad idea…

The video of this was bigger, and the dots were very distracting.

Sprint will start selling the Palm Pre on June 6th, for $199.

Palm is taking a real gamble by not having the ability to run older Palm apps on this new device, and an even bigger gamble by waiting until just two days before Apple’s developer’s conference to start selling this.

I think it’s clear Apple is going to continue to dominate the market with the iPhone, and if they announce a new, lower cost version, the Palm Pre could end up being the big loser.
