  • Analyst Finds Palm Pre Sales Stabilize At Ho-Hum Levels

    Analyst Finds Palm Pre Sales Stabilize At Ho-Hum Levels

    Despite the early fanfare and limited inventory at launch, Sprint doesn't seem to be hitting it out of the park with the new Palm Pre. Earlier this month we reported on some channel checks by JNK Securities analyst Mike Ehrlich, who called 50 Sprint stores and found out that sales were lackluster. Yesterday, he issued a new report based on channel checks from last Thursday and Friday, Week 5 after the Pre's launch. Of the stores willing to discuss sales volumes, here is the breakdown of demand on a per-store basis:
      Week 5 Palm Pre Sales Per Sprint Store
    • 10 units or less: 30% (vs. 40% the prior week)
    • 10 to 20 units: 45% (vs. 33% the prior week)
    • 20 to 30 units: 18% (vs. 16% the prior week)
    • 30 to 50 units: 12% (no comparable)

    Lots of excitement today over a second Palm WebOS device now that the Pre has launched. The only problem is that none of this is news. We broke the story about the device, code named Pixie, on April 29. A day later we had the Pixie name and additional details. As far as I can tell there are no additional details coming out now. So I'll supply additional information that we've gathered. Our sources in Asia tell us that Palm continues to push development of the device but is far from making a launch decision. "Palm has decided to put the Pixie on hold until they have better visibility into how its current models are selling in the market." Our guess is that low Pre sales rates make it less likely for the Pixie to hit the market this year. Palm's WebOS is the best mobile operating system in existence, in our humble opinion. But the hardware is, at best, a B.
