A few days ago that long-haired Roger McNamee said basically that the Pre will be such a cool phone that it will steal iPhone customers away, and particularly those whose first-gen iPhone AT&T contracts will expire in June. Palm seems not to agree with such a prediction. It has submitted a document to SEC which among other boring things states that:

The statement in the second paragraph of the article that “not one” person who bought an Apple, Inc. iPhone on the first shipment date “will still be using an iPhone a month” after the two-year anniversary of that day is an exaggerated prediction of consumer behavior pattern and is withdrawn.

It seems to me that Palm should learn to grow some balls if they want to make it in the cell phone business. Is this an apology so Apple won’t mind? Microsoft’s CEO never had a problem saying the iPhone basically sucks. So did Verizon’s CEO. Did we just get to that point where people are afraid to upset Apple? First RIM cancels its bold commercial and now Palm writes the paragraph above?

So, iPhone customers? Will you switch to the Pre?
