Celebrity Apprentice 3 hour season finale; Palm Pre in Prime Time
Tony Peric
According to several rumors reported here and here, the Celebrity Apprentice Three hour Season Finale could be the beginning of Sprint's and Palm's do or die last stand, marketing campaign for the Palm Pre. Sprint has been consistently running ad campaigns on NBC's network during Celebrity Apprentice and Heros. What is interesting to note is that we have seen almost all the stars on the Apprentice using Sprint/Palm centro phones.
This is a major hint that Sprint/Palm may be gearing up for a massive, Three hour Celebrity Apprentice show which would draw huge crowds and garner media interest if Palm's Pre were the main "challenges" for contestants. Several of the past contestants come back for the Season Finale.
This would allow Sprint/Palm ample time to gear up the marketing campaign for the reported release date of June 7th, 2009 and get the jump on Apple's rumored release of the new iPhone.

This would be consistent with Sprint's strategy of showing cool phones do cool things in TV shows. The only concern I would have is with loud mouths like Joan Rivers not being able to figure the Pre out and bad mouthing it, hurting Sprint and Palm's momentum that they could otherwise have gained.
Well, the good thing is that Joan (supposedly) left the show since her daughter Melissa got canned.
