Palm Pre News: Europe, Easier to Get, Wikipedia and Poll

In Palm Pre News, the Palm Pre will be sold in Europe, it's not as hard to get a  Palm Pre nowadays and Wikipedia is mobilized for the Palm Pre.

The  Palm Pre is headed for Europe. The  Palm Pre is scheduled to be available at first in the UK, Ireland and Germany exclusively on the O2 network, and in Spain exclusively on the Movistar network, in time for the holidays. The European version support the super fast HSDPA than can be as fast as 14.0 Mbit/s.

An iGR report implied that Palm Pre sales were not as robust as reported. They contacted 50 stores:

None of the stores contacted had sold out of  Palm Pre phones and the majority had 'plenty' available. This compares with 8 percent of the stores contacted last week saying they had sold out of the Pre (down from 28 percent in Week 2 and 38 percent in Week 1). iGR's channel checks clearly show that Sprint is meeting the current demand for the device with the inventories available in the stores.

The report also noted that a quarter of the stores contacted say that most Palm Pre phones are being sold to new Sprint customers.

The new mobile version of Wikipedia supports the Palm Pre in English and German with more planned. Palm Pre users are automatically directed to the mobile version.

In an unscientific Engadget Poll the iPhone 3GS is leading on their poll.
