Palm Pre spotted in the wild, possibly running YouTube

It's not clear exactly where these pics came from, but here's the Palm Pre, running what appears to be a YouTube app and the email app. We're of two minds on these: there's no doubt there are devices in the wild, so these shots could be totally real, but something about them just feels off -- that "Search All Videos" font seems way more Sprint than Palm, for example. Here's hoping we find out what's what real soon. One more shot after the break.

Update: One more pic here, showing it off next to an iPhone.

More Jello shots after the break. Fixed that for you.

Yawn. Another plastic trash, sleep inducing phone pumped out from tingtong under the guise of what we 'need'.


zzzz

thats youtube mobile which you can get on just about any mobile web browser especially IE mobile

[scorpeo Posted Apr 23rd 2009 7:19PM]

Pay attention, that is NOT YouTube mobile, it is an actual app. Look at the interface, (YouTube top left corner) my Diamond has a similar YouTube interface, although not so polished. I looked at the video lineup on my Diamond it is the same lineup as the one you see in the picture. Anyone with the YouTube app will know what I am talking about.

Anyone notice that it's a Macbook Pro in the background, along with Apple USB connectors? Not a big deal, but just an observation...

is that the new pebl??

[iroq d mullet Posted Apr 23rd 2009 6:52PM]

i'd hit.

If it's a photoshop it's pretty damn good, the reflection in the first picture looks all too real. You can see the ceiling lights, which looks like a typical ceiling office light to me, ones with two fluorescent tubes and you can see the person's head.

Without flashplayer?

[ananimus Posted Apr 24th 2009 2:07AM]

m.youtube.com uses 3GP file formats, not flash video. The Pre plays nice with 3GP out of box.

I just want a release date so I can get my hands no this puppy it is slick!

If that's a real Pre, then the first photo makes it look really tacky.

Don't like the look of the keyboard at all.

Looks really different to the Sprint/Palm press shots.

[loginatnine Posted Apr 23rd 2009 8:06PM]

haha the email that the guy is writing makes no to little sense...From what I can see :
"Hi, my name is the weirdest keyboard. I am trying to type as fast as I can. Damn this thing catch typos. I am in love with john rubinstein. Don't dis stupid sh**"

[ananimus Posted Apr 24th 2009 2:09AM]

Oh, holy snap... good catch. That would suggest auto-correct, now wouldn't it?

[ananimus Posted Apr 24th 2009 2:15AM]

On second look, though... it seems to say
"Does this thibg catch typos."

[bigshape Posted Apr 23rd 2009 8:08PM]

Enhance 34 to 46. Pull back. Wait a minute. Go right. Stop. Enhance 57-19. Track 45 left. Stop. Enhance 15 to 23. Give me a hard copy right there.

tortoise issues...

[nsxla Posted Apr 23rd 2009 8:53PM]

i'm not liking the keys at all =\ Does anyone if the keys are bigger than the BB 8330?

::Fingers crossed::

[COCOViper Posted Apr 24th 2009 10:47AM]

I believe the keys are similar in size to the Centro right?

[nsxla Posted Apr 23rd 2009 8:53PM]

Why is the PRE surrounded by MACS!

I think its at Apple's Cali Headquarters!

[Surrealchemist Posted Apr 23rd 2009 9:00PM]

Oh I didn't know that people who like to use Macs are required to use the iphone. Must be some new obama law

[mlief Posted Apr 24th 2009 4:41PM]

Complete fake....but wish it was real

C'mon Palm/Sprint - release the damn thing!!! (or at least give us a firm date so we can start counting the days)

[LogMonkey Posted Apr 23rd 2009 11:15PM]

gimmie...

[LogMonkey Posted Apr 23rd 2009 11:16PM]

I'm actually MORE excited about this than I was about the iPhone...

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 24th 2009 1:05AM]

ok losers, do you not know that all regional managers got a Pre for testing last month. Jeez, quit it with the fake/not fake comments.

[mpeters13 Posted Apr 24th 2009 12:33AM]

[jiuzhege Posted Apr 24th 2009 2:08AM]
