According to an article on digitaldaily, analyst Ashok Kumar of Collins Stewart has done a bit of number crunching on the Palm Pre and has concluded that Palm has dramatically reduced production on the Palm Pre.
Kumar states that Palm is unlikely to meet the million sales mark in the 2nd half of 09, and basically if Sprint cannot match or beat the AT&T price for the Apple iPhone of $199 then effectively the Palm Pre will be DOA.
It would appear that some analysts don’t think the Palm Pre will survive, and well with taking so long for the Palm Pre to hit I’m not too surprised, and if the Pre can’t get out before the new iPhone then maybe it is sunk and Palm along with it.
