The initial rollout is small and will be limited to certain company-run stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth area as well as in New York City. Expansion to all of its stores isn't expected until 2010.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/06/radio.shack.now.third.us.iphone.reseller/ Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:40:00 GMT Palm Pre to sell for $150 in The Shack promo http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/07/palm.pre.150.at.the.shack/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/palmpre-theshack.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Radio Shack is planning to kick off its rebranding to The Shack with the first planned price drop for the Palm Pre. Unlike Best Buy's accidental price cut last weekend, an internal memo shows the smartphone temporarily dropping to $150 for new Sprint subscribers beginning today and ending on Sunday. The deal needs at least a $70 Everything Data plan or higher.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/07/palm.pre.150.at.the.shack/ Fri, 07 Aug 2009 16:25:00 GMT T-Mobile gains fewer subs, more churn in spring http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/06/t.mobile.q2.2009/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/htcmagic-review.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />T-Mobile's US division took a minor blow on Thursday with word of muted results for its just-finished spring quarter. The cell carrier's growth slowed to add just 325,000 total customers, less than half the gains of 668,000 a year ago. Its churn rate, or the number of old customers replaced with new ones, also climbed from 1.9 percent in spring 2008 to 2.2 percent today. Most of the shortfall i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/06/t.mobile.q2.2009/ Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:50:00 GMT Radio Shack rebadged "The Shack" in mobile push http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/02/radio.shack.rebranding/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/theshack-teaser.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Radio Shack today teased a major rebranding of the company that signals a greater push into the same space as general electronic chains like Best Buy. Also supported by a leak stemming from Engadget, the store name should just be shortened to "The Shack" and will see the entire store network reflect this in displays this week and for signs by the end of the year. Under this change, only the corp... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/02/radio.shack.rebranding/ Mon, 03 Aug 2009 02:30:00 GMT Palm Pre drops to $100 at Best Buy [U] http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/26/palm.pre.100.at.best.buy/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/palmpre-apple.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />(Updated with Best Buy response) Best Buy this weekend quietly cut the price of the Palm Pre to $100 when paired with a two-year contract. The discount slashes the multi-touch smartphone's cost in half and comes less than two months after the phone was released. No explanation has been given for the move, including whether or not the new price is permanent or a temporary sale.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/26/palm.pre.100.at.best.buy/ Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:40:00 GMT Palm Pre sales still strong? http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/10/palm.pre.still.sells.well/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/palmpre-ad2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Pacific Crest analyst James Faucette today said that Palm Pre sales are still healthy over a month after the phone launched. Referring to his own checks, he estimates that about 40,000 of the multi-touch phones are now shipping each week and that the numbers could hold through at least August. He also expects that sales could improve if Palm can improve its shipments to Best Buy and Radio Shack,... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/10/palm.pre.still.sells.well/ Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:10:00 GMT Palm Pre demand has 'settled' http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/02/jpmorgan.on.pre.demand/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/palmpre-launch.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sales of the Palm Pre have cooled off to where supply is keeping up with demand, JPMorgan analyst Paul Coster said in an investment note today. He believes that about 270,000 Pres will have shipped in the first month of sales but that waiting lists have largely been reduced, revealing a near-ideal balance in what Palm ships each day. About 40,000 of the smartphones are estimated to now ship each... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/02/jpmorgan.on.pre.demand/ Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:55:00 GMT Palm may have doubled Pre shipments http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/12/palm.shipping.100k.pres/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/palmpre-ad2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Estimates by JPMorgan analyst Paul Coster published on Friday suggest that Palm may have already doubled its shipments of the Pre. Earlier predictions had Palm shipping as many as 55,000 units, but Coster concludes through studying retail activity that Palm has already shipped another 50,000 of the smartphones in less than a week. Many Sprint stores have received between 10 and 15 more phones ev... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/12/palm.shipping.100k.pres/ Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:15:00 GMT Palm Pre goes on sale (photos) http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/06/palm.pre.on.sale/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/palmpre-launch.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />(Updated with photos) Sprint today officially started sales of the Palm Pre, its first multi-touch phone and what's been regarded as the most direct contender with the iPhone. Initial reports of stock sent to Electronista vary and show that both supply and demand vary heavily depending on the region: Sprint stores, particularly in major cities like New York, have relatively large supply of as muc... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/06/palm.pre.on.sale/ Sat, 06 Jun 2009 14:45:00 GMT
