Rumor: Palm to include “Don’t Touch” “Demo Guy” with new Pre

In an unprecedented move, Palm may be packing a “Demo Guy” into the box of every new Palm Pre when the phone hits Sprint retail stores later this Spring. According to a ninja tipster, Palm has been so happy with their “You don’t touch the phone! Only our Demo Guy touches Pre!” media strategy that they’re considering extending it to the consumer realm.

“Palm hasn’t let any journalists actually hold the Pre when they’ve shown it off at trade shows,” our TipNinja (TM) explained. “The Demo Guys hold the phones and demo them, and the writers beg to touch the thing but aren’t allowed more than a quick finger on the screen. The media has gotten all upset about it - especially those spoiled brat bloggers - but Palm’s actually been really encouraged by how nobody’s reported on any crashes or hating the way the keyboard works. They thing they’re on to something here that could help with consumer perception, too.”

According to the super anonymous high-level source who txt’d us, Palm will include a live human being with each new Pre. The consumer will not be allowed to hold their new phone - ever - but instead will simply tell their personal Demo Guy what they want the phone to do. The Demo Guy will then determine whether or not the request constitutes acceptable use of the phone under what our tipster calls, “The most iron clad contract the cell phone industry has ever seen. I mean, even Sprint can’t screw this up. I think.”

Demo Guy will apparently always have one hand wrapped around Pre at all times, whether the phone is in use or standing by in the owner’s purse, pocket, or belt holster. Palm also sees a side benefit to Demo Guy, according to our uber-expert rumor mongerer, “That wireless charger thing that’s gonna cost an extra $70? You’ll want to get it, because Palm is only gonna hire really clumsy Demo Guys. You use a regular charger with a wire, and your Demo Guy will trip, fall, and break your Pre. Guaran-frickin’-teed.”

这是一个史无前例的举动，palm准备在每台在上半年的后期在Sprint的零售店发售的pre中捆绑一个“demo guy”。根据一个ninja情报贩子的消息，palm对他们准备扩大消费领域的"你不需要触摸pre，一切让我们的demo guy来做"的市场营销策略很满意。
“palm公司还没有让任何一个记者在一系列的贸易展上真正的握持过pre”我们的TM解释说。“demo guys 牢牢的把持住pre并且演示它们（pre），一些恳求和pre进行零距离接触的记者也没有被允许超过在屏幕上滑动手指以外的操作。媒体对palm的公司的做法感到很失望，尤其是那些以至于到处诋毁pre的博客的博主。即便如此，palm公司还是真正的受到了没有任何关于死机或者讨厌键盘的工作方式（滑盖，手感，布局）的抱怨极大的鼓舞。他们相信他们正在做着一些使消费者能够认识他们的产品的事情。
某不愿透露姓名的高层像我们透露，palm会使每台pre都有专人把持。顾客不允许拿住他们的新手机（pre）。但是可以告诉他们的私人demo guy 他们想让pre做什么。demo guy 会决定是否按照我们的记者所说的去做。”如此严密的保护在手机行业我还是第一次见到，我的意思是即使是Sprint也不能把这搞砸了（貌似说的是pre的发售会）。”
demo guy 会时时刻刻的保护着pre，不管手机是不是在使用中或者在拥有者的钱包中，口袋里或者皮套中。palm还看到了demo guy的有利的一面，根据我们的uber-expert的猜测，“拥有无线充电器要另外付70刀？你依然会想得到它的，因为Palm 要真的请那些笨拙的家伙演示pre的话你使用一个带线的常规充电器，你的demo guy 会不小心绊到充电器线，摔掉你的电话，最终都会搞坏你的pre”

PS demo guy 我个人理解为 5.19号的发售那时的机器可能还是demo 机有消息显示只有3500台所以这个demo guy就是保护这些demo的人，5.19可能并不会真正的让你把pre领回家。个人猜测。所以还是谨慎点留着大家理解的好
