I had a note in from Mr Operator — our super-high level mobile industry executive contributor. Here is what his email said:
Saw your Palm Pre coverage, Ewan –
Remember this?
Mr Operator: Palm Pre – destined for European failure
Heh.
Mr O.
That post he’s highlighted is a column he wrote published back in March 2009 when the Palm Pre noise was beginning to hot up. At that point Mr Operator said the Palm Pre would go nowhere in Europe and set out his reasoning why. You can, of course, read what Mr Operator had to say right here.
Nicely done, Mr Operator.
We never doubted you!
