Roger McNamee Talks To Fox News About Pre; Sales Better Than Expected

Elevation Partners co-founder Roger McNamee states that Apple is going to grow rapidly, Rim is going to grow rapidly, but I don't think either one of those has anything to do with us."Apple is the most successful company in Silcon Valley. There is no way we are going to crush them. That would be a ridculous goal. Our (goal) instead is to address all of those people that sit there and say - I cannot have a real life without a keyboard, I can't live doing one thing at a time - Mulitasking is a really core application."

BTW, The Palm sold out in many, many locations. Factories are running 24/7 to keep the Pre in supply. 1.2 Billion cellphones sold last year. 400 million sold in North America, only 20% are smart phones. In five years, Roger expects two thirds to be smart phones. Roger believes this is a 10 year plan.

Is there a more enthusiastic spokesman for this phone--the Pre?

[Daniel]

Invest in more TV ads! We need everyone knowing about all the key aspects of the Pre!

Um, that's not Fox News, that's Fox Business Network...totally different channel.
